I assume it is just a test and a more permanent one will be chosen at a later date?
We are trying something out with the Quaylink destinations so that the Next Stop Announcements automatically update the destination and drop off via points mid-route.
Leaving Gateshead, the display should show "Q1 Wrekenton" with the appropriate via points. The destination should then change itself just before Heworth to display "Q1 Newcastle/Central Station via", and then the destination should change again just before Gateshead to display "Q1 Central Station" (as per the old QuayLink Q1 service).
The Q2 and Q3 work similarly; however, we have had some problems with the system not updating the destinations automatically, which is why some drivers will be selecting the wrong destination.
As citaro5284 regularly says; you shouldn't assume, as it makes an ass out of u and me.
