Next Stop Announcments

[Pat]

Yes, but what is this 000X & 100X you are on about?

I think he is referring to the destination code, I.e 0023 0001 (1 taking the place in 000X) would be for Bartley Green.

Yes!

[Pat]

Yes!

Right, yes I understand what you mean now.  Instead of it being say 0023 0001 for Bartley Green, it is now 0023 1000?  Seems strange, as Adeon (the people who programme the blinds) have put the destination code, Bartley Green in this case, as 1000 instead of 1.

Not sure about right now as I haven't been on a bus since December, but at some point yes. I'm pretty sure it was an the time the announcements were changed to Miss Electric.

When did the 51 gain NSA's had 6754 on there this morning and was surprised to hear them.

[Stu]

Just travelled home on the 2 on 7536, first time I've ever heard next-stop announcements working on the 2/3.

What routes have next stop announcements, I've heard that there are some non platinum routes with with but I'm not sure which ones

[Jack]

2/3, 45/47, 61/63, 51, 97 are some that I know of...

I think most services have now

[BBS]

4/4A?

[Stu]

4/4A?

Check next time one of the Platinum vehicles is used on there.

Of course, next stop announcements won't work on vehicles that don't have the necessary equipment installed.  ::)

7513 on 94 doesn't have any announcements today. So 55 probably doesn't either.

I was responding to a comment about the 4 / 4A services. Which in turn was a response to a comment that Tony made.

So it is fair to assume that:

• vehicles without necessary equipment won't have next stop announcements
• vehicles with the necessary equipment will only have next stop announcements where all routes have been programmed in

7513 is a PB vehicle, and may not yet have all NSA data imported for all PB routes. 55 is a BC service, using BC vehicles, so you can't just assume that this service doesn't have such NSA on that basis.

7513 I think is one of our buses that the announcements don't work at all

[Jack]

Yes it is, people quickly assuming as always... the majority of the 16 branded ones don't seem to work... 6797/8, 6801 are a few from the first batch that don't work either.

7513 on 94 doesn't have any announcements today. So 55 probably doesn't either.

You do realise that PB currently only have their Platinum services programmed in, unlike BC...
