Next Stop Announcments

[DJ]

They've definitely taken them off the 4, and have been for some time now.  As for the 1, I'm sure they're still on.  Not used it in a while, so not 100% sure.  Hope they have taken them off though, god they were awful!

I believe the ones on the 1 were changed recently-ish, to the standard NX announcements.

Ah right.  Still don't like the voice NX now use, but it's better than the old one.  Bring back Mr Platinum!

I feel like standard platinum routes could have kept Mr Platinum and then electric routes could have Miss Electric.

Does anybody know if the X529 is getting next stop announcements?

I'd imagine so at some point.  There's nothing new that needs to be recorded, just the stop recordings put in the right order.

This stop is Wolverhampton. Our next stop is Walsall.

(I know there's more stops, but that thought did make me chuckle).

Not very often do I see platinums on it when im in Wolverhampton so im sure there's no rush.

I agree bring back Mr Platinum! As the the 4/4M they could have left tge screen running at least.

I don't know why they decided to take the announcements off the 4s.  I quite liked them.

I noticed that they started to stop working when the dests changed to the new style.

Looking at the destination control unit, it seemed like the number to select the journey had changed (for example the 23 used to be 000X but since one of the minor service changes it's moved to 100X, which has stopped announcements working on the hybrids)

Can you explain that please?

You don't select the journey on the destination control unit, only the service number, and you put in the service number itself, not a code.

Yes. You do put a service number and then you'll have to select the destination

[Tony]

Yes, but what is this 000X & 100X you are on about?

[mesub]

Yes, but what is this 000X & 100X you are on about?

Once the destination is set:
In the middle of the display unit screen is the route number and destination

Along the bottom of the screen (above the actual buttons), is the number of the route and another number, which I guess is used internally by the destination (and some other stuff).

Here's what I mean in the attachment (0999). I've probably just been giving it the wrong name.
