I've previously only heard TTS in Kent and I've heard Scotrail are getting it as well. It has since arrived in East Anglia at Chelmsford and Colchester (but not the smaller stations yet). ToCs are switching to this robotic monotone voice for 'flexibility' but why does a voice have to say anything other than what the live feed has to say? Station staff can add a message if need be.
Don't rail companies consider this part of the traveling experience or do they believe convenience of saying anything they want it to say is all that matters and passengers won't care?
The voice cannot even speak properly.
Calling at Ingate STONE, ShenfieldStratford and LONdonLiverpoolSt.
It would improve the traveling experience to have someone who sounds like Phil with the four chimes before the baritone voice.
The new PIS screens that accompany them are rubbish as well, two minutes after a train has left it still displays that service.
