North East Buses

I seen the screen but the bus had no sound so don’t know if anything actually plays or not. I did notice in the controller it said:
Transferring Pssengers Audio
0000 0002 with NIS on the screens

It just plays a string of nonsense about transferring passengers due to late running. Not well executed tbh.

This announcement was only ever a trial intended for Washington, working closely with the Service Delivery Centre. Nothing much really came of it in the end, but I wouldn't say it wasn't well executed.

I never knew this existed. I've heard London's version before on the iBus system, and always wondered if it was possible for GNE to do something similar as now and again I see them tweet that some Newcastle services are being terminated at Gateshead Interchange because of traffic etc. I know in London drivers can manually pick from a selection of various announcements and presume the early termination one is included, but how did it work exactly with GNEs trial for Washington?

It works as a scroll through on the Not In Service setting on the destination controller

Its fitted on every bus, but only means anything to those with NSA fitted.

Cheers . What about programes for the following or will these not have NSAs enabled?

2 years ago they were disabled but last year wernt programmed so drivers had use the normal 309 and 310 displays so nsas worked but obvs drivers didnt go the way nsas thought. And 310 serves its whole route just with the addition of hadrian park

Sadly I don’t agree, it’s a couple of people trolling and looking for attention.

Yes, on cruise ship shuttles yesterday.

(21 Jun 2019, 12:10 pm)Coppercap40 wrote [ -> ]Thanks Dan, When will it enter public service and on which services ?

Think already been mentioned it will operate on the 19.....also to allow more solos to be repainted into little coasters
