(13 Sep 2023, 6:48 am)ne14ne1 The number bit is fine, it’s the bit before that’s unnecessary.

The whole thing is waffle.

It should be:
3-5-2 to Newcastle, Killingworth Bus Station

Nothing more. The 'This is the' 'service' or 'Next stop is' isn't needed either.

It's worked in London for years now.

Heck you could even do

North Tyne Rockets 3 - 5 - 2 to Newcastle

It's still less than
This is the 3 - 5 - 2 service to Newcastle.

Completely agree with this bit but apparently GNE think London announcements sound unfriendly so added the waffle to annoy their passengers

‘Askew Road West/Oak Square’ (Metrocentre bound) is never announced in full.
Not sure if the geofence is too close to the stop or something but most of the time you only get “Next Stop” and then it’s cut off.
If a bus is approaching the stop slow enough you might get “Next Stop, Askew Road West” and then it’s cut off.

I’ve noticed a few stops do this too. Like St. Michael’s Way on the 9 and 56, by the time the announcement starts it cuts itself off.

Never been on a Durham Diamond for ages, but is it both the screens and audio not working?

Yeah most of the time they will be black with some little box flashing or something like that, and then the camera screens will change between showing the cameras and then a blue screen.

For the times I've been on it, its always been the Audio working but never the screens. I wouldn't be surprised if they won't be fixed given the fact they are weeks away from being gone.

Was on the 84 earlier, and I noticed the NSAs still get confused around the Barmston area. JFK being announced as the next stop, despite it needing to do a loop around Horsley Road first.

Had my first ride on GNE for a while, and I must say I've missed the comfort of the Streetdecks over whatever Arriva shove on the 6!

They seem to have finally done the announcements for the new stops between Cabin Gate and Tindale on the X21.

Was following 6099 yesterday and it changed its destination to say '56 Newcastle' but the NSA screen was scrolling along it being a 56 to Sunderland. Is that by design?

I drove 6099 the other day and the NSAs weren't working. It didn't autochange along Gateshead High Street to say Market Street either, must need repairing.
