Anyone noticed if the outbound Angels now announce ‘This is the Angel 21 service to Durham & Brandon’ or do they just say Brandon?

(07 Sep 2021, 8:33 am)ne14ne1 Has anyone been on the Orbit, Rider and Loop recently and noticed if they announce they are purely the above, or if they are the East Gateshead Orbit/Rider/Loop?
(07 Sep 2021, 8:36 am)Dan They announce 'East Gateshead xxx', but the Sunderland services just say 'Berries', 'Graphite' etc.

(05 Oct 2021, 3:54 pm)ne14ne1 As if “East Gateshead Rider Fifty Eight” wasn’t along enough, they unnecessarily include the word ‘service’ too - not unique to this route.
(Mind, you have to pretty much skip to the end of this video to get past the long intro).

(05 Oct 2021, 4:23 pm)Dan Every route says 'x service' - they always have done.I have been on the 58, and I must say by the end from Gateshead to Heworth I was sick of "This is the east gateshead rider 58 service to heworth".
I'm not sure I see or hear the issue in this clip? There haven't been any customer complaints about this, nor any negative feedback from the driving team.

(05 Oct 2021, 4:26 pm)Keeiajs Also "East Gateshead Rider" ngl I think that is a awful name, could have been called TyneRider. (Nicer Name)

(05 Oct 2021, 4:29 pm)Dan Services 51/52, 58 and 93/94 are the main routes that form the East Gateshead Bus Alliance. Together, along with the 57, they provide combined headways of up to every 7-8 minutes on common sections of route. Once the current driver shortage settles down and lost mileage is back to normal levels, there will be a joint marketing campaign for these services. This is why they all have the same prefix, 'East Gateshead', along with their 'true' brand names (i.e. Orbit, Loop, etc).Yeah fair. Isn't their meant to be campaigns for Metro-Newcaslte, Seaham-Durham aswell any more?
TyneRider may be a nicer name, but it doesn't fit the bill.

(05 Oct 2021, 4:28 pm)ne14ne1 I realise all announcements include the word ‘service’, and I’d very much doubt customers would feed back on such detail, I was just pointing out it’s an additional unnecessary word that’s been added in from the start.

Our next stop announcements have a friendlier tone than those used in London, despite it being the same voiceover artist.

(05 Oct 2021, 4:59 pm)Train8261 At least Go North East is better than Arriva NSA and Stagecoach NSAI've never tries SC's but as I've said before Arriva's sound awful. They sound like they just plonked a mic in front of someone in the office at the end of the day and just got them to read it out. She speaks quickly and quietly, meaning it's hard to actually understand what she's saying.
The stagecoach one is worse. Gives you a lecture entering Newcastle
