Right or wrong; until the systems become less clunky, I don't think you'll ever get the announcements to reflect the correct route all of the time. I'd doubt many, if any at all, operators could resource it currently (I used Lothian as my example previously as they've really upped their game for providing this feature, and are definitely leading the way in the entire industry in my opinion, currently, yet they face the same challenges and seemingly haven't overcome them).

If operators don't have the resource, one option could be to disable the announcements to prevent incorrect information being given to passengers. This isn't ideal either though, is it? I suspect the current situ means that they're right the majority of the time, for the majority of stops, benefiting the majority of passengers.
