Next Stop Announcments

I meant recently.

Could the reprogramming to include destinations for the 97A have something to do with it?

Not sure why that would affect the X21. I did notice that the 97A has them now though. That was pretty quick.

No NSA for X22 on 6887 either which is strange. From what I've seen they still work on all other routes, such as 24, 61 etc.

Does anyone know when or if the Coventry NSA is going to be fixed?

[MasterPlan]

Still trying to work out why the NSA for the X21 appears to have been deleted. Maybe the service is being amended / withdrawn.

Yet they've given the 97A announcements... wonder why they've still not done the 14/94/95 as well then all their routes have them.

Seems strange to take them off the X21 which is a branded Platinum route.


Also do NX ever bother fixing ones that don't work? Theres some WA and BC ones that haven't worked in years now.

Most buses on the 97A at the moment are platinums every day, so that would seem to make sense.

I have a feeling only a few engineers can do announcements and they've got more pressing things to do, so stuff like this is always lower down on their to-do list.

Are there any plans to introduce NSAs on more WB services?

With the incoming ex-Sutton Line platinums and the increasing platinums on (in particular Birmingham bound) services like the 12/A, 13/A, 74, 80, surely it makes sense for them to have NSAs, BC have it for most if not all of their routes

Same can be said for Acocks Green, since their getting the 16 brandeds, their casually going to end up on the 4/4A

More like the whole of AG's double decker network...

All the routes will get NSAs eventually as it has been mandated by law. They'll have to do them based on age of vehicle so the newer vehicles will have to be done first by a certain date coming up quite soon I think.

Correct, the priority will be to ensure that all the electric and hydrogen vehicles are ready for this October.

So that's all Coventry, Perry Barr, Walsall and Yardley Wood routes to be done first. (Unless the hydrogens will be strictly kept to certain routes that already have NSAs recorded)

But there needs to be a purge on drivers changing the destination at the terminus otherwise on the next journey the NSA will not work

What? The destination has to be changed at the terminus so the NSAs will work on the next journey!

Yes. On the 907 yesterday going out of City the driver left 'Birmingham' displayed on the destination board so the Next Stop Announcement's didn't work until I mentioned it to him at Perry Barr, so once he changed it to 'Sutton Coldfield' the Next Stop Announcement's started to work
