I assume that given it's presumably electronically controlled, the stop-start system could just be switched off altogether.

An engineer would likely have to do this.

One thing that doesn't help with NSA are routes that interwork where the driver changes the display far too early.
The whole point of NSA is to be accessible for everybody. When you catch a 95 to Birmingham and all of a sudden you're hearing 94 to Chelmsley Wood when you've barely left Nechells and still three/four stops to go, it's not on. There's no need to change your display at the lights at the middleway.

For some routes (e.g. the 23/4 which have the one way city loop), the driver can get away with changing it early, as the announcements for the one way loop work both inbound and outbound (e.g. Smallbrook Queensway works for the Bartley Green and Birmingham displays)

Interworking is done to save resources, not because it would be nice to do.

 Do they interwork in Solihull, Birmingham or both?

Solihull.

Another question to ask is will the Volvo Hybrids get their announcements sorted now (or at some point in the future) as well?

Of course, it uses a different (and harder to program) system, but surely it would have to comply at some point as well?

Nice to see that they've made the announcements louder now they've updated them on the Hydrogens. H1012 is now very loud!

Still sounding tinny??

Someone in my discord server has sent a video of new bus announcements for the route 997 (Walsall)
(

) It appears the voice has changed to TTS

Can someone let me know if this change is a new thing or just temporarily until the person that normally does it records new ones for Walsall.

That's a real shame but I guess if every route must have announcements, it will be costly (both in terms of time and money) to hire the voice actor (I think her name is Elinor?) to record them.

6956 is parked up on Bath row, seems like somebody experienced a medical incident as an ambulance pulled up as I was being driving past. Hopefully they're okay.

E302 and E301 have a 404 error when navigating from the homepage.

One of the drivers put it up on the front when running back to garage a couple of days ago on Moor Street Queensway

Do BC/PB buses share a destination display database with the main NX services?

Spotted another one being driven on trade plates down Watery Lane Middleway 2 mins ago

11th September missing a 1 on the homepage

1796 looks very packed on the 74

2177 - 17E the Radleys

8th September duplicated twice on main site for recent photos.

4481 not tracking on the 20/48 today. Must say this one really does sound like a MK1 B7RLE great whine too it.

Have you put it in the reporting thread?

This is for WB, I just moved the previous conversation here since I'm not meant to make comments in the other thread.
