We don't get involved with the recordings - that's organised by another department and it's down to the radio stations to record them as soon as they can.
The testing is what takes time. It involves doing a full round trip on the 8, 8A, 45, 46, 78, and 78A. Both sets of routes are quite lengthy, so you can understand why the announcements aren't working yet (especially when citaro5284 and I have many other jobs to be doing!)
We've done a full round trip on services 45 and 46 already, and the Stanley - Consett section of services 78 and 78A. I think citaro5284 is doing the remainder of the "Coast & Country" routes tomorrow.
Of course, there are some things that may need tweaking and suchlike. I went through all of the scrolling messages this morning to ensure that they were all spelled correctly and the grammar was spot on.
