The whole thing is waffle.
It should be:
3-5-2 to Newcastle, Killingworth Bus Station
Nothing more. The 'This is the' 'service' or 'Next stop is' isn't needed either.
It's worked in London for years now.
Heck you could even do
North Tyne Rockets 3 - 5 - 2 to Newcastle
It's still less than
This is the 3 - 5 - 2 service to Newcastle.
