RE: Next Stop Announcement Systems - Unber43 - 27 Oct 2022
(27 Oct 2022, 10:28 pm)Ambassador On recent X39 trips I’ve noticed the somewhat innovative arrival at stop times has gone wrong/ no longer maintainedI've only noticed 1am & the actual time of arrival, not sure if this has anything to do with the issue of it saying it will arrive at 1am could it be a particular journey/vehicle
It either shows the timetabled arrival which is fairly useless, a random other service or a totally random time arrival of 1am.
I quite liked the live arrival idea and linking into the app it must be possible in terms of tracking and gps, it’s a small priority for a massively loss making business but still…be nice to have it back
RE: Next Stop Announcement Systems - ne14ne1 - 28 Oct 2022
Yeah 1am arrival is still a regular occurrence from what I see.
Metrocentre train departures still show up on approach to Central.
Several 10s don’t have working screens and/or audio.
Several drivers regularly switch the destination to the next journey despite being 1/2/3 stops away from Eldon Square.

Not sure if it's just these two buses I've been on (5423 and 5439) but are there seriously still no NSAs on the 61A?

Does the Q3’s NSAs work yet?

Guess it’s a no…

(27 Nov 2022, 8:20 pm)ne14ne1 Does the Q3’s NSAs work yet?Yes they do. There is a few stops which don't as we don't currently have any NSA files for them but the rest work fine.

So that’s a no then, they’re still not fully working. Customers are still having to listen to “Next stop.” “Next stop.” “Next stop”. “Next stop.” for a good chunk of the journey.
And is it really just down to not having asked Emma to record a few files?

Much bigger issues to worry about at the moment than a few stops not saying their stop name...

Like painting wheels red and tweeting about an elf.
Does the 53/54 and Q3 electrics announce their number and destination on departure yet?

On the B9s with the LED and TFT displays, what is the lower display used for?
I'm on 6099 and every so often it'll flash the X21 splash screen on the TFT display but the rest of the time it says 'no signal'
The NSA in general seems to have stopped working at Spennymoor as well, it's not making any announcements any more and just has 'Welcome on board the Xlines X21 service to West Auckland' scrolling on the screen along with the free WiFi and GNE app crap.

Most of the Nsa are broken
12 doesn't have any
58 doesn't announce any stops after Heworth (don't quote me)
1 still announce Howard Street (Stephenson Street is on there as it was a few months ago)
57 is broken after Felling Bypass Ennerdale
19 doesn't read out the new announcements on the new route change
RE: Next Stop Announcement Systems - Ambassador - 08 Dec 2022
I’ve enjoyed the serene journeys of late
Break them all
RE: Next Stop Announcement Systems - Rob44 - 09 Dec 2022

GNE’s booze cruise announcement for Gateshead’s Wellington Street in the BRIDGES Quarter will need to be updated. A new independent wine bar is opening: https://www.instagram.com/p/CnFUiDNIW4N/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

as the former MD is no longer directing his lackeys to engage in this sort of frivolity….it’s unlikely.
Though anyone whose been on a rush hour single deck 21 of late may be tempted to hop out and have a pint /large wine and wait for the next one
