It's all fine and well having radio control contact a driver, but if that information isn't shared with the passengers - it becomes an exercise in pointlessness.
One person inconvenienced because Testo's isn't served and they can no longer get to work or home from work; or 21 dropped off round the corner, just off Stockton High Street. Hmm...
Sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear enough. The Service Delivery Centre have had contact to drivers for many years now, that isn't something new.
The intention is that the radio controller would be able to make an announcement on the bus to passengers, in addition to the driver, linking to the audio-visual announcement system on the bus.
Work is underway. Trials are to take place by the end of the year. That is what Go North East are doing to combat the issue we are discussing, that is how they are trying to lead the way... Not an "exercise in pointlessness"!
