Can't see it but might with the pb solars RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - April 2016 - Ambassador - 17 Apr 2016 (17 Apr 2016, 9:34 am)Dan wrote As both Lee and I said above - no new announcements have been recorded for the service, so it remains as Steve and Karen. The "please remain seated until the bus has stopped" malarkey has all been edited out though. Are there plans to redo the names at some point? Would make sense if they matched what's on the App (as more people migrate to using that) RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - April 2016 - Dan - 17 Apr 2016 (17 Apr 2016, 4:55 pm)Ambassador wrote Are there plans to redo the names at some point? Would make sense if they matched what's on the App (as more people migrate to using that) Yes; there is a plan to launch the Next Stop Announcement media on every service, but it has to be a gradual roll-out, due to the time it takes to create the media. We'll be ditching the references to Lloyds TSB too, given that it's been a good three years since Lloyds and TSB split. It is more likely that the stops on the app will be re-named to match the Next Stop Announcements, as the NAPTAN stop information often leaves a lot to be desired. Indeed, I believe this is already in the works for the Hadrian's Wall AD122 stop list on the app. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - April 2016 - NK53 TKT - 17 Apr 2016 (17 Apr 2016, 4:59 pm)Dan wrote Yes; there is a plan to launch the Next Stop Announcement media on every service, but it has to be a gradual roll-out, due to the time it takes to create the media. When will all this be complete just I can name a few stops now that are different on the app than on the bus RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - April 2016 - Dan - 17 Apr 2016 (17 Apr 2016, 5:15 pm)NK53 TKT wrote When will all this be complete just I can name a few stops now that are different on the app than on the bus It's a time-consuming process which involves several different people from different departments, so it'll be a while before all of this is complete.

Thanks RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - April 2016 - Jamie M - 17 Apr 2016 Talking of mobile apps, that doesnt even work on my S6, put a complaint in ages ago and still no joy.

It works on my S6 fine - even from the early stages of BETA testing, before the app was released publicly. Not much I can do, but I'm intrigued... What's the problem you're having with the app?

Done the basic uninstall - reinstall - update et cetera, few other people have had the issue looking at the app comments in the store. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - April 2016 - Malarkey - 17 Apr 2016 Not sure whether it has been noted elsewhere in other threads, but the 82/82A/82B do not serve Washington Retail Park/Sainsburys Car Park on a Sunday, instead they do a loop of the Bus Station and go out past the Leisure Centre to head through Biddick like the 2A does.

Yes, it's at Riverside being repaired. Has been VOR for about a fortnight now.

I wonder if the Salutation stop in Durham will be renamed when it becomes a Co-op? I'm expecting not, since the county is full of stops named after long gone post offices.

I found the app was a bit glitchy when my S6 Edge upgraded to Marshmallow, but clearing the cache and data helped. I gave up on my old login and used a newer gmail one and that seemed to cure my issues too. My only annoyance was the lack of screenshot ability. There's ways around it though.

I'm just given the timetabled time instead.

Lots of confusion this morning with the split between Portobello Road/Barley Mow. Quite a hike (or wait) for some.

I'm just given the timetabled time instead. It's a bit clunky that way. I always get live times but prefer the Arriva app in terms of its interface etc. Though it does seem to take the Metro approach to 'Due' (it's due...ish) RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - April 2016 - Jamie M - 17 Apr 2016 Yeah the app is useless to me since I can't get past the the login screen. Registering an account also does the same thing. Was like this before and after my s6 os updates, so kinda stuck. Sucks. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - April 2016 - BusLoverMum - 17 Apr 2016 I did download the app. I didn't get past the "wtf, they expect you to register?" stage with it.

As Muggins here found out after I went to Bedlington to photo it and the usual (in my case) Volvo B9TL showed up.

Certainly, many 82A services were evading Barley Mow. I confronted the driver as to why he evaded Barley Mow and got no response from him at all. Customer Services said they will monitor it because it had happened a few times.

Same, when live times occur the bus then comes later than it says RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - April 2016 - Dan - 18 Apr 2016 5223 is now a green Loop.

Any suggestion from Cust Svcs as to why they were missing Barley Mow out? Pretty shabby it even happened once, without measures being put in to place to stop it happening again later in the day. |
