I know that, the bus was empty but I could just about hear them it was that silent.

6756 announcements are near enough silent, can just hear them quietly mumbling.

Noticed 6864 had working visual/audio NSA for 94/95, when I had it last night. Also when parked up, it worked for short journey dests.

Quote from: mesub on October 27, 2024, 10:05:16 PMFor 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)
But I have noticed on the 82 and 87 inbound to Birmingham that if the driver changes it too soon after pulling away from the Charlotte Street stop - the last before the loop - if they're still within the GPS 'tolerance' for  the stop, the system immediately thinks they're heading outbound. It then goes round the entire city loop showing next stop as Nelson Street.

It's a technical limitation, but easily overcome with a bit of driver training. :smiley:

To my knowledge, every NXWM route now has announcements to comply with the new legislation surrounding them
Local routes are the PN 7, WN 8, 25 and 242 (mainly the 8)
Also regularly use the PN 2, PN 2A and WN 82
Local rail station is Stourbridge Town, 139s 😍

No, they haven't completed that still. AG still only has the 5 with announcements.

Under the current legislation and its timescales, only vehicles first used after October 2019 are required to have working next-stop announcements. So at present that is all the electric and hydrogen vehicles.

YW previously only had NSAs on the 2, 3, 6 and 50 services. As their electrics will now be used on all other double-deck routes, they will have had to have them recorded for those services (18, 35, 49 and 76). Although they have older vehicles with the equipment installed, it makes sense to load them in as well, even though they legally didn't need to until next October.

Correct, but it's not a priority right now, NSAs will need to be programmed by next October.

82 and 87 have always had them, being Platinum routes :rolleyes:
