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.
Surely the common names - like the ones that appear on the ticket, should be announced, not like some of the made up stuff that we hear, that partially sighted people or visitors may struggle to identify with.
I'm not sure what appears on the ticket at the stop at Fencehouses level crossing, but I will put my mortgage on the line that it isn't the mouthful that is "Fencehouses Front Street, Lambton Lane/Gill Crescent South" (cos there wouldn't be room on the ticket for starters!)
