Could just change the terminus stop to say "Last stop" instead of next stop.

I think "next stop..." would be more beneficial as people are used to hearing "next stop".
If "last stop" was used, people may mistakenly hear "next stop" as they're so used to it. 

That's actually helpful and informative, and definitely benefits passengers.

I thought this was done already, though I must admit I've not travelled on many routes to their terminus to confirm this.

Certainly on travelling into Birmingham city centre, the announcements get 'confused' when the driver logs onto the next journey in advance of the terminus.

I was in Edinburgh last week, travelling on a lot of Lothian services (mainly to the terminus), and I kept hearing "...where this bus terminates." so it got me thinking 'why don't we have this?'

Idea for the NSA,
When you're arriving at the terminus, can it say:
"Next stop Solihull Station, where this bus terminates"?
Or
"Next stop Chelmsley Wood, where this bus terminates"?

I think this will really help people who don't know where the terminus is, such as tourists.
Could majorly help on 'E' routes too.

26223 on 88 to Balsall Common, don't usually see MMCs on the route 

Any reason why BC vehicles are tracking on the 14 to Chelmsley?

I can see a lot of drivers on the uni rotas hating the extension to Merry Hill

All the ones I've spoke to, don't mind it

3301 on 937 to Birmingham. Seen at Kingstanding circle at 0746

There're a lot slower than Init to issue tickets when paying by cash or contactless.

I thought they were quite quick when I was a driver for leamington 

6865 23/24 branded was at Halesowen Bus Station earlier today X21 route learning.
Now out on the evening 877/X1 board.

Getting ready for the 29th

Very funny.

Thank you, I do find myself to be a bit of a comedian! But this information isn't 😎

From end of October, X21 will be extended to Merry Hill on Sundays. Running an hour service to Merry Hill

I guess that confirms that NX are getting the 96 back, as I don't see anywhere where it has been announced?

Yes. They are getting the 96 back 

X1/X2 are a mess, loads of angry people in the City, to top it off 6892 doesn't want to move, everyone gets on 6846, then 6892 drives off in service.

Absolute joke, the drivers are also clueless, going to be making a complaint at this point, wonder how Coventry will sort the mess out that is the X1.

You do have to realise the trains are on strike today and tomorrow so the X1 will see more filled capacity meaning they will become late

6732 not tracking, currently on 1444 934 from Birmingham

If the new garage is built with sufficient capacity, there's no need for the 60 to move to AG.

AG is only around the corner from Cranes Park, it would make more sense

Are the early morning International - City journeys going to Coventry as well? Presuming these will still run?

Don't quote me, but I'm presuming they'll stay at BC as a few drivers quite like doing them
I could be wrong though
