As you approach the crossing in Fencehouses towards Houghton, the bus has pulled up, let a crowd of people on and off and is half way towards the next stop by the time Gary has finished telling you which stop is next!
Can't remember the exact phrase he comes out with, but it is something like: 'The next stop is Fencehouses Front Street, Lambton Lane/Gill Crescent South' (or something along those lines).
Some of the stops have more commonly used names too. The 60 ones are generally okay couple of minor issues. Is for some reason heading to Sunderland the bus never announces 'New Seaham Byron Terrace' despite the fact it shows on screen 'This stop is Byron Terrace' if someone alights or board there. For some reason the stop on stockton road next to bus station isnt announced at all, and if drivers change the blind too early the announcements can often get confused and start announcing the stops for the journey to Parkside which then can sometimes cause them to break when on return journey to Parkside also the 'Next Stop is Sunderland Interchange' is abruptly cut off when drivers change blinds.
