I tried to listen to an announcement in Leeds to ascertain my platform to go back to Appleby (gone are the days when it would never be anything other than platform 5, which is a shame) and I ended up goign to 13 instead of 9C because she is so unclear. With Phil Sayer you could make every word out.

 

[Tom B]

Who is this woman? I've never heard her.

 

[Jonno2055]

I think we have her on witham, we also have a new bloke on the 360s, from the middle of essex. Not sure what his name is though...

 

[Jordy]

Oooh oooh oooh! I've found a Station with Phil!!!! Heaton Chapel near Manchester Piccadilly!

Jordy

 

[steve158]

he's also at -

hull
south yorkshire local stations
tyne and wear local stations

 

[Jordy]

Yeah I know, but he is getting rarer

Jordy

 

[Jonno2055]

It must be an assasination plot, he knows too much!

 

[Max]

He can also be found at Yorkshire Coast Line stations, Shipley and Kings Cross Thameslink (though this may have changed). Yay! However, Hull is probably the only major station left with him.

 

[16CSVT2700]

Didcot and Reading have male voices

 

[Nick W]

I like the London to Brighton and Eastbourne line announcement voice, if it still hasn't changed.
edit: must be Phil Sayer

 

[Galvanize]

Phil Sayer isn't completely dead yet!

He's at:
B'ham New street
London Victoria
SWT Stations
Southern Stations
Waterloo East
Blackfriars
City Thameslink (The old version )
Kings Cross Thameslink

 

[Jonno2055]

I could have sworne that he still does exeter, and quite a bit of the west country.

 

[devon_metro]

He does, Although the woman appears to be at Paignton now

 

[Sprog]

I could have sworne that he still does exeter, and quite a bit of the west country.

Yep, he does. Digital Dorris does alot of the announcments on Wessex Trains stations though.

Bristol Parkway and Temple Meads have both voices and often at BPW, on platform has male, the other has female.

 

[Julian G]

He can also be found at Yorkshire Coast Line stations, Shipley and Kings Cross Thameslink (though this may have changed). Yay! However, Hull is probably the only major station left with him.

max, the voice is still the same at King's Cross Thameslink

I wish they still have that (warning sound) when you have to stand behind the platform edge when a fast train is approaching

I've noticed Celia changed as well hock:
the way she said Mill Hill East on the train

I like the Woman on the 350
Quite funny last time
"Welcome onboard this Silverlink County for Northampton calling at (10secs space) Watford Junction,Hemel"

Thats just as bad as this stupid woman we now have invading the network. The gaps she leaves between phrases are huge in some announcements, and at a busy station like Leeds, it means that the announcements are basically constant, because it takes so long for her to finish each one :roll:

It seems particularly bad at Sheffield.

 

[AlexS]

That would be because they are seperate recordings - it's not possible to get them seamless.

 

[DescendingSadly]

there's male announcements at huddersfield.

 

[matt]

There are real person announcements at Coventry

 

[class 313]

At st albans (mainline) we have a man and somtimes real.

 

[evil_hippo]

They should use local voices for some of these annoucements. Lilly Savage for Merseyrail and Jasper Carrot for Centro...The Queen for Windsor of course.

None of that. The voice we really need making the announcements is that of Gareth Hale.

 

[Muppet]

Yep, he does. Digital Dorris does alot of the announcments on Wessex Trains stations though.

Digital Dorris is the Anouncements of 180 adleantes.

 

[NumptyDriver]

stations on the calder valley line have phil

for a blast from the past go to Wigan North Western - digital doris's grandmother.

 

[heart-of-wessex]

I noticed the piccadilly woman at sheffield

also down here, Phil can be heard at Swindon and Chippenham as well

 

[steve158]

interesting one at newark castle yesterday:

"the next train on platform 1 is scheduled to arrive at 1558. calling at Nottingham, Loughborough(very long pause), Barrow on Soar, Sileby, Syston and Leicester"

it turned up 11 minutes late 8)

 

[steve158]

update: she is going in at most of the Snow Hill Line Stations

AAAAAAAAAAARGH

 

[Jordy]

Good news here, despite the Sheffield invasion, Phil remains at Meadowhall

[Max]

Phil shares the workload with a female counterpart at Reading too. And I'm sure that the Plymouth announcer is his female version.
