Next Stop Announcments

[Westy]

I've seen Walsall's Platties on other routes, the other day I saw one on the 41 for instance.

Are all their routes programmed in as well, or in process?

[Jack D]

Has 55 got them yet?

Not whenever I catch one.

"Your next stop is... (sigh) Overgreen Drive. Good luck."

Maybe it's just my bad hearing but sounds like the 16 NSA have been changed slightly as the tone sounds different.

6826 and 6828 now have their announcements sound different when I caught them on the 907, also now their NSA Displays come on and off during the journey approaching and saying the stop. Different to when they was at BC.

Same with the 6, they come off and on. They sound more robotic like the coventry one's

[MasterPlan]

Yeah it definitely sounded more robotic. Gotta say I preferred them as they were.

They will have been updated to reflect changed stop names, as well as new stops where the route has changed, eg the 2 at YW.

I was talking about the change in the voice not specific stops.

They probably couldn't get the voice actor that did the previous announcements back in for one reason or the other. Or maybe they thought this robotic voice was the way forward.

I do miss the "Mr Platinum" voice though.

The voice is the same, as far as I can tell, but there is a slightly different 'tone' to it. Only heard it once so far though, on the 3 last week.

They're probably all computer generated, even the previous ones (maybe even Mr Platinum was!)

[Jack]

I agree I much prefer Mr Platinum too.

Yes, that's what i said this morning the tone seems different. I've only heard it on the 16 though, as the X21 is still using outdated NSA.
