(23 Apr 2016, 5:49 pm)Dan The 45/46 services do not serve Metro Oasis towards Consett, but are in fact registered to serve this stop towards Newcastle (despite the Nexus liners suggesting that services 49 and 643 are the only services which serve this stop). They can't serve this stop towards Consett as the bus would have to cross two lanes to get back into the correct lane - the driver was right to tell the passenger that they could not alight at this stop.That is not true in the case of some buses including the Q3
The programme was amended at the start of this week, and the revised media is due to be uploaded to the buses soon.
The customer mobile app is also incorrect - it uses the same stop list as the file used for Next Stop Announcements.

(23 Apr 2016, 7:30 pm)Dan Not sure about anything that's happened in the past, but most of the Angels had their media updated last Sunday. That should have cured any issues... Will try and get myself on an Angel next week to replicate the issue Ambassador has observed.

(23 Apr 2016, 8:29 pm)Ambassador It only seems to have started since last week. I've no idea what I'm talking about but perhaps a tweak to the software? I seem to completely lose a decent 4G signal mid Low Fell and at points in Birtley, maybe the GPS has a bit of a moment
6060 is one of the few that randomly announce Coast Road stops.

(23 Apr 2016, 11:47 pm)dannygee Some stops on the 309/310 are not announcend but are on screen. Plus on the 309 why is whitley bay town centre announced twice towards newcastle. And cobalt business exchange doesnt exist as nexus took the stop away towards town.

(23 Apr 2016, 5:55 pm)Dan Towards Newcastle, the 45/46 should stop at Metro Oasis. I believe a staff notice went out to drivers regarding stopping arrangements earlier this week.

(23 Apr 2016, 9:43 pm)BusLoverMum The mobile signal in Low Fell is a combination of hills and buildings. It shouldn't really affect GPS signals, though.
Birtley seems to be a blackspot for both EE and Three (have had 3G via both on my phone). i think it suffers simply from being Birtley in between transmitters.

(24 Apr 2016, 11:28 am)palatine3833 I find it strange the way the GPS signal varies between buses. I was on the X12 coming from Newcastle with a 21 right behind me, and when I stopped at the Barley Mow stop the real time information stated: X12 Middlesbrough - due, but 21 Chester-le-Street 2min. Can't understand why that happened considering we were both sitting at the stop.

8295 is now at Riverside and is on the 88s
it's Idle is very rough and its gearbox is jerking more than often and making very strange noises, definitely one of the more poorly Versas I have on the 88/88A.
Not sure if 8297 has transferred yet.
