There's not many buses on the 22 and 24, and it's only a case of correcting the PowerPoint, saving it, and shoving a USB memory stick into a computer on the bus to update it.
Given the negative connotations associated with the slang term "hoe", I would have thought it'd be a top priority to fix it...
All the Arriva announcements I've seen/heard are screwed in some way, with some stops not being announced, spaces not used, lower case letters used instead of capitals, stops spelt wrong. Doesn't help that some stops have been added but nothing has been done to reflect these changes. Also on some buses especially Darlington's standard Pulsars the volume varies between buses.
On the X66 I had back from Stockton, I'm sure they've changed the announcements as Harrowgate Club came up on the screen but I'm sure it used to say Elmcroft. Not sure what the voice announcement was as I couldn't hear it!
1511 was only showing "Arriva, Go on, Get on, on the screen with no stops on the screen or voice announcements on the 5A this afternoon. 4649 on the X66 was stuck on "Four Riggs"
It's so bad it actually winds me up.
