What I don't understand is why some garages are still using the old style NSA and rear destination displays. I figured it would have been rolled out though all garages, but only BC, YW and PB seem have done it.
Obviously not a big issue just figured they'd all change for uniformity.

Perhaps you're a computer expert who can write the 20,000 files needed for each garage quicker, if so there may be a job for you.

I mean, it was just an observation. But sure, be snarky and mean if you like.

People may think I've got mental but I haven't however I've got on 1882 and you know the sound the platinums make when you change the blinds to not in service like a musical tone 1882 just did it does this have next stop announcements fitted or somthing.

LD713821

Someone in my discord server has sent a video of new bus announcements for the route 997 (Walsall)
(
) It appears the voice has changed to TTS

Can someone let me know if this change is a new thing or just temporarily until the person that normally does it records new ones for Walsall.

The route was the 937 and unless I misheard it that sounded like it said 927 i'm sure it said 937 to Brownhills West

Did the 937 always have announcements?

Yes. 

Reading comments on Facebook it looks like the 12's and 13's have had announcements too. 

Most likely because all Platinums should have every route at their depot programmed, assuming it's to do with the new laws.
