As a regular commuter I certainly wouldn't mind the odd '...alight for X' if it was warranted. E.g. I think the stop 'High Level Bridge North' should be named properly & would warrant saying 'Next stop, Saint Nicholas St - alight here for Central Station'.
Personally I don't think the NSAs should have bits added like '....the first X', '...the only X', or '...the best X in all the land!'. That would sound unprofessional and make you wonder if there was some sort of sponsorship or paid deal between the bus company and whatever the POI was.
And I think 'get off here for...' sounds too casual - Keep that for tour bus commentary.
Is it the 10 that has the 'change here for 49 and x66 services to Gateshead', or something along those likes, when it get to the Metrocentre?
I think GNE for the most part already does a good job naming the stops properly. Like on the 49 we have Dunston - Aldi instead of just Ellison Road, same with The Ropery - Paramount Care. More akin to your example, on the x21/21, we have Wharton Park - For rail station in Durham.
