Doesn't have to be anything flashy! Could even be weekends only but people enjoy having that commentary told to them by a person on board rather than an audio recording of someone who doesn't sound very local!

It was two local people who voiced the original announcements - one is unmistakably Geordie…
If GNE had someone on-board doing a live commentary I suspect the service would then become loss-making, and, judging by the cuts proposed on the local bus network, would result in it no longer running at all.
