Next Stop Announcement Systems

Next Stop Announcement Systems

RE: Next Stop Announcement Systems
Seems more announcement have been added to certain stops or some have changed. I know the 1 after North Shields Transport Hub still mentioned Savile Street

I'd be disappointed if the supplier couldn't get out though. Particularly if there are SLA's in place and the GNE fleet were sitting there doing nothing but waiting for a fix.

Perhaps the suppliers staff wouldn’t cross a picket line to enter Depots to fix buses

In which case, they need to be more productive!

If you know the numbers or routes/dates/times, send it to customer services so they can be checked? hello@gonortheast.co.uk

RE: Next Stop Announcement Systems
I was on a Tyne Bridge route today and after departing Gateshead Interchange it announced the next stop was simply ‘Askew Road’. No waffle about the made up railway quarter and which pubs to alight for if you fancied a drink.
Has Martijn’s announcement been removed for Wellington St on the outbound journeys too? (Hoping so!)

6100 too going up Fawcett Street yesterday. Newcastle on the front but the interior screen rekoned it was still Sunderland bound.

The announcement for the railway quarter is on journeys from Newcastle towards Gateshead Interchange

Urgh, still.

This was flagged with customer services who passed it on two months ago, yet it’s still not sorted and still causing confusion.

This has now been resolved.

Not sure if the geofence is too close to the stop or something but most of the time you only get “Next Stop” and then it’s cut off.
If a bus is approaching the stop slow enough you might get “Next Stop, Askew Road West” and then it’s cut off.

Also resolved.

Noted this afternoon that this still doesn't work. 

In addition, it announces the Victoria pub upon approaching, but not accounting that it turns left to serve stops to/from Brady Square first. It seems to then briefly announce Fatfield Road/Oxclose Road, remaining silent till it's returned from Brady Square and passed the Vic.

How can a system, that is implemented for the benefit of those with vision impairments, turn out to be so confusing for them?
