I was on a TPE service recently from York to Manchester and the announcer came on and it sounded like someone had hijacked the radio - the guy actually sounded like a DJ or a game show entertainer. He was asking for requests and I thought he would start playing a dance floor classic on board a Friday evening service!!! All the passengers actually looked at one another quite puzzled and amazed. It took a couple of minutes before the announcer actually went through the station stops and confirmed he was in fact the train manager or conductor (not sure if TPE have TMs). The guy clearly had quite an over the top personality which isn't a bad thing but I can imagine he would probably get a bollocking from his supervisor if they ever get wind of what he does.
