I don't think so, Dan & Danny!
Go North East changed CCTV suppliers a few years ago, so it would be quite costly to repair any faulty passenger CCTV screens with the new supplier as it's not their product. I think this is why they're just turned off when they develop faults.
Although you probably could hook the Next Stop Announcement kit up to any sort of monitor, I think the unit itself is quite expensive, so it's quite unlikely that they'll ever be used for this purpose. The TFT monitors are more robust as they are built specifically for this purpose. Never say never, though!
