Completely agree.
If they want to include the route brand then just do it upon departing big stops like Haymarket, Eldon Square, Gateshead Interchange etc. Maybe have an announcement that says 'Welcome aboard this Citylink 57 service, by Go North East'.
But I think having 'This is the Citylink 57 service, to Hadrian Park' or 'This is the Cobalt & Coast three-O-nine service, to Newcastle' is far too long to have on each departure and risks annoying people.
I'd much prefer a simple London style, '57, to, Hadrian Park' or 'Three-ten, to, Newcastle Haymarket' on door closure.
Probably count the number of times on one hand that negative feedback has been received about it - and it's only really been from enthusiasts to be honest.
Sometimes gets a bit repetitive but the volume setting is hardly intrusive and I find from my experiences both from using the bus and driving them, that I can just switch off from the announcements.
