Win win situation definitely.Yes, and if it wasn't for the Next Stop Announcement screens having the radio station logos plastered all over them, GNE would find themselves having to pay for the radio advertising instead.
Reminds me of the Metro. Some corporate boffin coming up with a cracking idea to take away regional accents in favour of "professionalism". Whilst I'm not a fan of my journey being interrupted by two pratts from the radio, at least it's a regional accent.
I reckon my idea of Charlotte off Geordie Shore doing the next ones was a go-er... If not, I'm sure Jimmy Nail would be game?
3964 carrying a Real Radio advertisement was no coincidence, either.
Like I say, win/win for all parties (passengers included, who 'benefit' from the regional accent as stated previously).
As long as they stay as toned down as they were for the new NSAs last year, I'm happy. Maybe could make an exception if Charlotte was doing them, like...
