    Audio/visual "next stop" announcements on buses

    Pretty much only the 250 and 350 which aren't even Hull routes, even the 103 to Kirton in Lindsey & Lincoln was doing it today. I'd say complain to them. The more it's addressed the better done. 1767462911 In fact I think they are making the hull ones look like this.

    Stagecoach East Midlands - Timetables, Services, & Wider Operations

    I think 73 and 19 plates might be sent elsewhere, to places like Lincoln, Gainsborough, Grimsby ETC. No clear plan yet

    I think most likely teething issues when switching from AeSys to Hanover, which I did notice as Michael's voice seemed to play at the wrong time when I first took them in august.

    New ScotRail Train Announcements

    Yeah, Real Vanessa vs Readspeaker's TTS Vanessa, which I think a combination of nonsense sentences and stations to grab every phoneme in the english language was required to be able to voicebank.

    New ScotRail Train Announcements

    It's still a TTS, but Scotrail have selected an employee named Vanessa Sloan to bank her voice for use on the trains. https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/25688682.scotrail-introduces-new-train-announcer-replace-ai-iona/

    Audio/visual "next stop" announcements on buses

    Funny, considering the prontos and 73 plates work, and grimsby managed to get their data uploaded.

    Audio/visual "next stop" announcements on buses

    SCEM used to use different voices for the destination and next stop messages from Elevenlabs and it works out well.

    Electronic destination blinds

    Thinking of, Nottingham's Yutong fleet are fitted with the Navaho stuff, as are the new 36 buses in harrogate, so they are slowly rolling out.

    Electronic destination blinds

    Gotta love Centrebus on their announcement capable buses. They have automatic ticketer link and it automatically changes as we go along the route
  15. DanielTheEMid

    Why did some operators have number, then 2 destination displays ?

    This is only on the announcement fitted buses though. It’s automatically set by the ticketer too. In Grantham on the 1 to Alma and Earlsfield, it shows “this bus terminates here” on the destination as soon as it reaches the bus station.

    Audio/visual "next stop" announcements on buses

    Centrebus is definitely leading the way here, all routes set up and working. I think it’s the only Lincolnshire opco that has complied really. 1761734074 Stagecoach East Midlands have not updated the HTCs as of yet, as 10742 sti says it is going to hull interchange despite the dest set for Lincoln

    Audio/visual "next stop" announcements on buses

    This one is located in Leicester railway station, maybe St Margarets and Haymarket could do with them.

    Audio/visual "next stop" announcements on buses

    They could’ve implemented the react access trigger system on the existing ones like the old INIT keyfob service
