I think I prefer a generic non accent voice like TfL use on their buses and Underground.

Had I waited for a reply to my comment on Flickr, I would have found out the reason why anyway. I wonder if Dundee are planning to put in bids for the next Green bus fund, or maybe just a route to put the surplus 5's when not in use.

Probably not... but if they did, the hybrids would replace the remaining R-reg B10Ls (7144-7151).

Caught 5516 today on the 1, the voice is so annoying! could do with being turned down a tad i think!

On the dundee subject doesnt the 28/29 have branded gemini's for the discovery line?

The voice is too loud downstairs, but too quiet upstairs!

Although I suppose those hard of hearing usually sit downstairs, so that's where it's needed most

Not any more. B7RLEs are now branded for those.

I sat upstairs about half way down and found it really loud!

This is ridiculous, only a month or so in service (2 months for the B5s) and they have now been on the 1, 59, 79, 529, several on the 126 and now the 4! Not complaining though ;D
