It should be:
3-5-2 to Newcastle, Killingworth Bus Station

Nothing more. The 'This is the' 'service' or 'Next stop is' isn't needed either.

It's worked in London for years now.

(13 Sep 2023, 5:38 pm)ne14ne1 wrote Completely agree with this bit but apparently GNE think London announcements sound unfriendly so added the waffle to annoy their passengers

(20 Sep 2023, 7:58 pm)ne14ne1 wrote ‘Askew Road West/Oak Square’ (Metrocentre bound) is never announced in full.
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.

Assuming it hadn't just broken at some point beyond Saturday morning of course.

(06 Dec 2023, 7:29 pm)Dan wrote Maybe this did happen, and any buses which were identified as needing repairs are currently waiting for the supplier to come out to fix them.

Assuming the supplier has other customers and couldn’t come out to Go North East immediately.

The rest aye, but they need to keep the others busy and productive.
I'd have thought it would be the perfect task and an opportunity to put right all those little issues that existed.

(07 Dec 2023, 7:55 pm)ne14ne1 wrote How come the 47 is still making announcements as if it runs non stop between Metrocentre and Central Station?
This was flagged with customer services who passed it on two months ago, yet it’s still not sorted and still causing confusion.
