Next Stop Announcments

[Westy]

Where do you stand on 'Shrewsbury'?

I'm 'Shrewsbury', rather than 'Shrowsbury'!

With you there, Can't wait for the Next Stop Announcements to try and pronounce say Wednesbury or Wednesfield pronounced to us as Wensfeild and Wensbre some say Wensbury, It's probably gonna break it up like you would teach a Todler To Wed Nes Feild or Wed Nes Bury. 

And yes Older Generation are wrong my Grandad who is no longer with us taught me to say Birmingham like Bir Ming Ham rather than Birminum or as I say it Birmingum or just Brum for short. He taught me to say Wednesbury as I mentioned above, here's one to everyone thinks outside of the Black Country that Darlaston is pronounced Darl-Aston or Dar last on when it's actually just pronounced Darl uston or Dar lus ton. It featured on BBC Breakfast eairler this year with people saying how there Town was mispronounced a bloke from Darlo said how it was pronounced. 

What annoyed me was the WN1 it was fine to Dudley or Wolverhampton saying "Paget Road 1 To Dudlee" she didn't have a regional accent and so I accept that's fine or "Paget Road 1 To Wolverhampton." But when the bus was going to Tettenhall Wood pronounced to most people as Tetnul or Tettenul the NSA said "Art Gallery 1 To Tett en Hall Wood" I could imagine on a 529 to Willenhall it probably pronounced it Will en Hall rather than as one word like Willenhall or Willenall or Willenul if you have a broader accent.

So your expectations are that every announcement should repeat itself in every accent to match your expectations?

When all buses are using the new system am I right in assuming it will be easier to modify for future changes?
Not just the changes themselves, but once implemented would they change for all buses across the board or would you have to update each bus individually.

"So-lee-hull"is in fact the correct pronunciation - not "Solly-hull".

In all fairness, it's more of a personal thing. I've never personally heard the original pronunciation used by anyone that I've known, be it at school, university or at work. It's likely one of those things that one family says one way and another family says differently.

Again, it was a very small thing that I picked up. Regardless, it's nice to see NSAs on routes that didn't have them before (such as the 72).

It should be easier in that you don't have to wait for the voice artist to be available to make new recordings, when stops change name for example, or new stops get added.

Buses will still need to be updated individually when the programming changes.

Unless I'm completely mistaken and NX's whole system for playing NSAs has been changed!

Ah, the Welsh spelling!

WB only has announcements for 82 and 87 atm

[MSU2008]

WB only has announcements for 82 and 87 atm

Disagree with that on certain buses they do have NSA for other routes such as the 80, 12A and 12.
