Go North East: 5364 / BX63BDE
Go North East's Washington-based "Connections4" branded Mercedes Citaro 0530N/Mercedes Citaro 5364 (BX63 BDE) is pictured here at Go North East's Washington Depot, Washington, looking resplendent after having been driven through the bus wash, undergoing a destination display and Next Stop Announcement media update. 27/02/16
In line with minor service changes to "Connections4" service 4 and "Red Arrows" service X1, and the re-launch of the brand for the latter, Go North East has updated its Next Stop Announcement media screens on these services.
As part of a wider scheme for all of the company's existing Next Stop Announcements to be reviewed - the main visual changes are summarised below:
- The company is expected to roll out a new 'line-plan' format on all services with Next Stop Announcements, allowing passengers to see the previous, next and future stops, as well as the ultimate terminal point, with scope in future of showing expected journey times.
- Go North East will depict connections to other Go North East buses at key interchange points by showing images of the brightly coloured buses. Passengers should recognise the striking livery design and know that they need to alight to connect to that service.
- BuzzFare ticketing zones will be advertised, so that passengers are aware of where a boundary starts and ends on the route.
- Go North East will make use of the TFT monitors on express routes in between long-distance bus stops by promoting the company's smartphone application which allows customers to see live times, buy tickets and download timetables while on the go; as well as other things such as the company's 'Key' smartcard that makes travelling by bus easier, cheaper and more secure.
The new Next Stop Announcements will be voiced by Emma Hignett, who is a female British voiceover, best known as the voice of London's buses. Emma has a classic, warm, friendly, and informative voiceover.
