Hospital, Wrekenton and Springwell Village, with no announcement for Washington Galleries where 6050 terminated, other than the above issue I really like the look of the updated announcements.

There was no issues with the announcements towards Easington Lane this morning (I did a full round trip), so I'm not too sure why you've experienced some issues? It uses the exact same file, and I have run the slides in simulation mode and it all works perfectly.

There were some issues towards Newcastle, once the bus hit Shiney Row, but I corrected the CSV file behind the scenes earlier tonight to cure these issues, and will upload to both buses tomorrow morning before they go out in service.

There mightn't have been a "This is" announcement for Washington Galleries if the driver did not drop off at the usual Easington Lane bound X1 stand, or if s/he had already changed the destination to "NOT IN SERVICE" before the bus stopped.

These are likely to have been stops added after the original announcements were recorded.

When the Cobalt Clipper is refreshed, every stop will be recorded again.

Yes - all of the brands on the link below, excluding indiGo*, Coast & Country and Red Kite:

* Not yet shown on that webpage, as the announcements haven't been programmed yet.
