"40 service to Wallsend Bus Station"
"E1 service to Sunderland City Centre"
A key reason why I prefer the stagecoach announcements is they are quick and not annoying.
Another useful thing they do is announce the different stops used in Newcastle City Centre...for example "Due to the ongoing development of Pilgrim Quarter some service will be using alternative stops, please visit stagecoachbus.com for more information".
During the national driver shortage they also played an advert for recruitment of drivers too which wasn't that annoying as it was only once or twice per leg of journey if I remember correctly.
Ah cheers for the extra information.
