Does anyone know how Tyne and Wear Metro's Next Stop Announcement system works?
Currently on 4062 and one screen is showing "Next station is East Boldon" then the usual patter which follows it, but another screen is repeatedly flashing "Seaburn", as if it is stuck on the "This is" / "Seaburn" announcement.
I regularly notice problems like this on the Metro, but we never seem to have problems like this on buses (although admittedly there's only one screen).

(26 Jul 2015, 9:33 pm)BusLoverMum Never stuck for places to go, apart from the western (more than) half of Tyneside!
Even years back, as a student, when the metro was still very new, we had long, slightly drunken discussions about how the metro didn't actually go anywhere near the Metrocentre!

(27 Jul 2015, 2:49 pm)R852 PRG Despite having a very frequent Northern Rail service, I have actually thought to myself that the Metro should serve the MetroCentre. I imagine it was due to the fact that the Tyne and Wear Metro first opened in 1980, and the MetroCentre in 1986; had it been the other way around, I'm sure the MetroCentre would have been incorporated into the network.
