Next Stop Announcments

[2206]

I noticed  earlier tonight while on 4883 as 6887 passed on Nechells Parkway it had "the X13 crosses into the NX Outer Zones area" on the next stop announcement display.

Didn't realize there was a custom announcement for wheelchair users boarding. Sounds like the London announcement for it

Do any other garages have anything similar, because theorectically Walsall ought to have them for the X51 on current vehicles & the 8 ought to have them for future upgrades?

All of the platinums have it, as far as I know, they don't work on all of them. I got to use it today on 6875.

6996 announces the next stop but doesn't do anything else

Hi guys just to let you know the next stop announcement on X51 is wrong its skipping Oak Avenue and Oakenhayes Farm in Great Wyrley/Landywood. Also, it announces "nBus not valid beyond this stop" at Ferndown Close however TfWM state New Masons Arms is the border

It appears Ferndown Close is the last TFWM flag on the route the following stop is a Staffordshire CC one. So the announcements are probably correct I would imagine?

I believe the same applies in Water Orton where Orchard Nurseries is the final TFWM flag.

Perhaps someone at TFWM ought to check their information?

(Slightly off topic, but I wish Staffs CC & NX would allow the Knot to be purchased at a TFWM stop, if you are going into Staffs without breaking your journey. If I want a day out in Staffs via Cannock, it's going to cost me £12, £5 for the outer zone & £7 for the Knot day ticket.)
