Next Stop Announcement in NXWM/NXC

Next Stop Announcement(NSA) in National Express Bus were firs5 introduced in 2011, for the hybrid buses.

The platinum brand was introduced in 2015, when they rolled out the NSA on 900(now X1) and 957(now X2). They had been following out NSAs on more platinum routes at the following years, including three(used to be four) routes in Coventry, which is operated by NXC.

Electric and Hydrogen buses in NXWM, which introduced in 2020 and 2021 respectively, were built in platinum spec, that git NSA equipment fitted. There are usually around 1 to 3 routes in each garage, that is not platinum branded, got the next stop announcements programmed. The excat reason of this is unknown but it should be more convenient to the passengers.

In 2023, the next stop announcement is rolled out on every double decker routes in Coventry, including school routes. But ironically the NSA in NXC no longer work properly at E034+ since they entered service from Sept 2022, and on the platinums and E021-E029 after they updated the system in Jan 2023, as the voice would cut off after it runs for a certain time. 

The issue is still not fixed as of Sept 2024, and it has been also occcured on the new electrics at Perry Barr and Yardley Wood. NX is currently replacing their NSA voice to Ivona Amy, which is a TTS voice, and they have already rolled out on some Walsall's platinums.
