they've killed sheffield station!

[steve158]

not only have they got the new information boards working(which are better anyway)


but phil sayer has been dumped in favour of the world's most sarcastic announcer(heard at man picc, leeds etc.)

they've killed it! and there's nowhere to buy a green 'un anymore either :cry:

 

[Jordy]

Noooooo! Phil has gone?! AAAAAAGH :cry: :cry:, I can not STAND that stuupid woman aaagh. What about Meadowhall?

Jordy

 

[Guinness]

I don't mind the Mrs Sarcastic at Piccadilly. Just picture her a New Street though

 

[Aureol]

I kinda 'liked' Phil's announcements at Sheffield, Birmingham NS etc. Shame he's been replaced. The announcements sort of sounded like they 'should' with Phil.

Sheffield is DEAD! R.I.P. :cry:

 

[Angus]

Sheffield as a city has been dead for 30 years. But at least the station should be better when it's finished.

 

[Max]

If you still want to hear Phil in the North of England, come to Hull! After all, its never dull

However, it is sad to see Sheffield lose those announcements. And can I join the 'we hate that annoying woman' club?

 

[Jordy]

Do you ever stop advertising Hull? I've got loads of old announcements from Sheffield, must put them online at some point...

[steve158]

well maybe he needs to, if you believe all the c*** that is said and written about hull.

how can you criticise a place where you can buy pattie, chips and breadcake for a pound i don't know.

grimsby's got some good points as well hock:

Digital Dorris and Digital Dereck (aka, Sarcastic lass and Phil)

We have both at Bristol Parkway and Bristol Temple Meads 8)

What..tractor..where??!....

 

[Jordy]

well maybe he needs to, if you believe all the c*** that is said and written about hull

Yeah I must agree with that TBH

grimsby's got some good points as well

You are too kind

We have both at Bristol Parkway and Bristol Temple Meads

You mean you have 2 announcers at 1 station? Or Phil at one and Digital Dorris at the other?

Jordy

 

[Sprog]

Both Stations are equipped with both voices.

Often, one platform at Parkway uses Dorris and one Dereck.

And at Temple Meads, sometimes you go and its Dereck and then other days its Dorris

The new announcer at sheffield, is done by SEMA-SCHLUMBERGER, and used to be at my local station, Lewisham. She's not too annoying, despite being the voice at London Bridge for 4 years. The only annoying thing about "Sarcastic Sarah" and "mechanical mike" is when they both do the Unattended articals announcement together. It's damn impossible to hear what anybody is saying.

ATW and Wessex have a similar announcer, different voice but same script as Sarcastic Sarah. Digital Dorris (shared with Leutenent Lloyd in Wales) is famous for saying "DeanDunbridge" as Jim or Heart-of-Wessex or Dennis will back me up.
