The Cobalt Clipper has a different voice around Cobalt Business Park, the Quaylink has a different voice for Gateshead College, and the Fab56 already has a different voice for Gateshead High Street or Jackson Street.
The first two were certainly done on purpose, not so sure about the Fab56, but proves that it's not the end of the world if there's a different voice. I'd argue it's better than no voice at all!
