(24 Aug 2018, 6:23 pm)S830OFT wrote Passengers on the Crusader services don't appear to be liking the new announcements. "This is the Crusader 27 service to South Shields" was driving passengers crazy, and with the bus stopping at pretty much every stop it must be extremely annoying, especially for the driver who has to listen to it for the entire journey and back.
A better idea for informing passengers would be to have the announcements go off at key destinations, for example Heworth Interchange.
Hopefully Go North East change it as it was driving passengers mad.
I believe you live in North Sunderland so I doubt you use the 26//27 often enough to know whether they're annoying or not - I use them most days, and I've heard no complaints other than from when they were first introduced, but that was down to the fact that they were new, and passengers weren't used to them.
