And agree about volume settings being deceptive. Those alarmingly loud Arriva announcements are barely audible on a full chatty bus - and in contrast to some routes, the 22 is always a chatty route.
Angel announcements are always inaudible over the engine noise, downstairs (and despite being a hybrid, there is a lot more engine noise than not) but just about decipherable upstairs. The ones on the faffy 56 were much louder.
(20 Oct 2015, 6:46 pm)Dan 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.I believe it is Kelly Hinch who does the ones around the Cobalt.
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!

As we knew, the changes would get a mixed reaction but they can't complain if it helps the service to become reliable.....

(22 Oct 2015, 12:40 pm)Chris Just had a look at the new timetable for the Toonlink 12/12A on simplygo.com; and it runs along 'Hedden' View.
'Heddon' is the correct spelling. It's correct on the 49 timetable though.
Sorry, not to nitpick or anything!
