How about the guy from the Go Compare ads?
Or even get a Trump impersonator!

Quite. He would be fantastic.
I'd quite like to hear Peter Capaldi doing some announcements - not as the Doctor, but as Malcolm Tucker!
Dangermouse. With the music too.I'd volunteer:
"The next station is... actually I'm not going to tell you. Tear you eyes away from your ^%&@ing phone for two minutes, look out of the *&$£ing window and take responsibility for your own journey. People never needed a running commentary for the first 170-odd years of passenger trains, so why should we spoon feed you throughout every moment of a journey now?"
Failing that unlikely (albeit personal Utopian) scenario, I suggest Barney Greenway from Napalm Death
Both Geoff and Vicki would be excellent choices. Maybe they could do the platform announcements, with one each side as is often done.I'd love it if Geoff Marshall did all of them, funnily enough he did do some temporary announcments on Thameslink.

I wasn't aware of that, do you have a link by any chance.
though the Stanley Unwin suggestion has possibilities.
Sadly not since last September, as events have overtaken this long-running thread.Fenella Fielding very much still with us
That post was quite a while ago to be fair.Not since last September.

Seconded. It'd be great to hear both Geoff and Vicki on platform announcing duties as they could replace Phil and Celia on the Southern network, who currently provide the announcements still.
