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.
Completely agree with this bit but apparently GNE think London announcements sound unfriendly so added the waffle to annoy their passengers
