Next Stop Announcments

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

Oh I see what you mean now, your use of the word 'purge' in your previous reply was probably a bit strong!

This will become a 'training' matter I'm sure, especially if it becomes legally enforceable.

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

This is actually a major problem drivers not changing destinations, often seen on the 4/4As displaying 4 in Gospel Oak to Birmingham, or a 4 to Birmingham to either Solihull or Gospel

Bruh no wonder why NSA never works

The one 529 I was on today, was showing what could be described as a 'copyright notice' on the display!

Makes you wonder if it's possible to have it so the NSA run off the ticket machine (same as they do with tracking information) as drivers are more likely to update that at the terminus than the blinds (I know on ticketer it prompts you to change it as you approach the terminus, I can't remember if the machines NX use do).

I think they do based on what I've seen if I have got of say a 79 or 34 before the Terminus it usually has the Ticket in either handover mode for a new driver or ready to be updated and the driver is waiting for a stop to do it such as the traffic lights.

E072 the next stop annoucment screen is working but the audio announcements are not working.

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)

I know it's requirement but for the Hydrogens unless they are kept to certain routes only. There would be no need to do the 39 as Double Deckers can't go under the Bridgeman Street Railway Bridge and they can't go on the 4's either due to the Sandwell and Dudley Bridge and they can't do the 8 due to the Clayhangar Bridge.  But I would imagine that the other two Darlaston Routes and Walsall's other routes would be done. Apart from those routes.

May be incorrect but from my observations NSA work on the X22 going into City Centre but not going towards Bartley Green for some reason.
