Next Stop Announcments

[BlackCountryBusSpotter]

I was driving 7535 earlier today, which still had the previous set of announcements and honestly, I still prefer how Elinor says "6 to(ooh) Solihull" rather than the rather robotic "6, to, Solihull".

Although that being said, I do like the additional information added to some of the stops on the updated announcements. (e.g. "Saracens Head, for Parkgate Shopping Centre").

The old announcements did that on the X51 for which ever stop is near to Wolverhampton University's Walsall Campus I think it is Broadway so the next stop is Broadway For Wolverhampton University it also says it for the Alexander Stadium so for example X51 to Birmingham the next stop is Perry Aveune for Alexander Stadium

Can anyone tell me if the WN ones have changed at all?

Some of the Willenhall ones on the 529 have changed.

Wolverhampton Road is now Crescent Road for Sikh Temple, while Gipsy Lane is now Wakes Ground.

Theres no flickering on and off anymore which is nice, but they've now done away with the Capital Letters which is strange.

Actually I stand corrected, it seems like only a few BC buses aren't flickering anymore, most still are.

I do agree about the capital letters; I wonder why they did it like that.

Did you make up Elinor or is that actually the "official" name?

AG only has a relatively small number of vehicles with NSA equipment installed, and those vehicles are mostly used on the 5.

I doubt NX would go to the trouble of creating NSAs  on the off-chance those vehicles get used on the 4 or 4A.

When the destination displays were changed they took them off.

You can say that but YW did it for the 2 and 3.

Exactly, those routes tend to have omnilinks on there frequently, AGs 4/4A commonly has platinums on there, both 67** series and the ex Coventry batch.
