Next Stop Announcments

I wouldn't hold my breath as 6719 hasn't worked for years.

There's a few at BC like that. I can't remember them all but 6883 is one.

Theres a lot at BC. 6827, 6841, 6858, 6867 and 6883 are the ones off the top of my head.

Majority of AGs 67** also not working, 6701 is definitely one of them

One thing that doesn't help with NSA are routes that interwork where the driver changes the display far too early.
The whole point of NSA is to be accessible for everybody. When you catch a 95 to Birmingham and all of a sudden you're hearing 94 to Chelmsley Wood when you've barely left Nechells and still three/four stops to go, it's not on. There's no need to change your display at the lights at the middleway.

Drivers change it there due to the short drop back in city, and as soon as you arrive at the stand you are instantly loading - When I was on 94/95 I'd normally change it at the lights around masshouse lane. Only a few times when I was running very late, I'd change it if I got caught out my the lights at the middleway, cause they have a long sequence.

Changing it early wouldn't be an issue for a bus with no announcements. The bus goes the same route. A visually impaired passenger can ask for assistance and boarding passengers know the bus is going into the city Centre. However the announcements are there for a reason. If you can't see and your bus suddenly announces you're on a different bus going in the opposite direction, it would be most unsettling.

I just caught 6948 on the 95. Announcements showing on the display but no audio as of yet.

6852 has the same problem tonight. No audio.
I'm still yet to see one working on the 94/95.

We don't want to be reminded of where we live, lol.

I had one the other day, hence my posts above about drivers changing their route prematurely.

I don't work for NX but would of thought that the NSA work of the ticket machine and not the LED display

For some routes (e.g. the 23/4 which have the one way city loop), the driver can get away with changing it early, as the announcements for the one way loop work both inbound and outbound (e.g. Smallbrook Queensway works for the Bartley Green and Birmingham displays)

I was on a 74 earlier and the NSA seemed to get suck on 'Next Stop Lloyd House' going into City. Then they didn't work when it changed to 74 West Bromwich.

Also no audio again. 6808.

On a side note interesting that it says Lloyd House when the 16 has always said Snow Hill Queensway.

I caught 6808 on the 80 yesterday and they was working but they was very quiet so it was hard to hear them.

Nah it was literally silent on the 74 earlier. I can't even blame the chatter of the overcrowded bus!
