(26 Nov 2021, 3:06 pm)deanmachine I like how you picked that up and not the fact that it announces Silksworth incorrectly. "This is the Berries 2A service to silk worth"This might sound petty but when going between The galleries and Sunderland, I purposely wait for the 8 as I really can't take how it says silk worth.

Like it is highly annoying.

(28 Nov 2021, 11:42 pm)streetdeckfan If you think about how many individual stops they had to record for the NSA system, it's no surprise that there are a few pronunciation errors!The difference is that people actually say Prudhoe as "prudha"
As someone who was brought up to pronounce things 'properly', I personally can't stand the fact the X21 says 'Tudda' instead of 'Tudhoe'. I'm guessing they similarly pronounce Prudhoe 'wrong' on the 10s.

Is it the same Tudhoe?

(29 Nov 2021, 12:11 am)streetdeckfan And people also say 'Prudhoe'!Enough about NSA's. keep it to the appropriate field.
It seems to be 50/50 with people I speak to whether they say 'Tudda' or 'Tudhoe'.
To me, if they're using a fairly well spoken voice for the NSA, then they should go with a more 'formal' pronunciation.
It just sounds odd to me having a 'posh' woman saying the more colloquial pronunciation

(05 Dec 2021, 5:36 pm)Keeiajs Put 5304 in Xlines Charcoal Livery. As dedicated spare for X20. Not only would it be cool to see it needs a spare. And it was planned to get repainted so why not.
(05 Dec 2021, 6:24 pm)Keeiajs Well...they did introduce the Charcoal as the dedicated spare colour, so why not.The charcoal spare decker's work well because there is numerous X Lines routes operated by decker's, the X20 on the other hand is the only singled decked X Lines route so re painting a merc in charcoal as a spare is pointless, might as well just paint a spare in the X20 colours or just use a corporate liveried merc as they do now

(08 Dec 2021, 6:24 pm)Train8261 Great. Could have done another Citaro like
(08 Dec 2021, 6:35 pm)Michael They might and I hope they do, but I think getting all the re-brands done first, should be the priority - least then there won't be buses on wrong routes.
What's left to repaint now?
