DLR Onboard Announcements: Bank-Lewisham route (with Elizabeth Line)

[@yy17782]

I love the sudden interlude for the Jubilee and Elizabeth line announcements, then straight back to the DLR woman after 😂

One thing to note at 1:14 that Elizabeth line on carriage diagrams fr connections is shown as “Elizabeth Line” whereas Jubilee and all the other lines are just the line name. This is because the Elizabeth line is a seperate mode to the underground

[@budapestkeletistationvoices]

For the ordinary passenger, including James Blunt, the Elizabeth line is just one more tube line.

Believe it or not heron quays is closer to the Canary Wharf jubilee line station than Canary Wharf is

[@budapestkeletistationvoices]

The only public transport in London that doesn't use a real persons voice It's a text to speech system

[@budapestkeletistationvoices]

it does use now Emma for the Elizabeth Line. But I agree. And it isn't even updated, no overground at Shadwell

[@TransporterTony]

Oh, the new DLR and Picc line will be using it

[@budapestkeletistationvoices]

Definitely not text to speech, bear in mind it dates from 2006 - the technology was nowhere near advanced enough back then to sound this real. There is no way it is a voice synthesis system, I think someone misunderstood what they were told at some point. The fact they have added in Emma Hignett segments due to the original voice being no longer available proves it enough to me - if it was synthesis, they could get her to say anything they liked for the rest of time. Not everything you read on the internet is true. The bigger question should be why TfL have not released the audio files - I am assuming it is similar to the Piccadilly line, where the recordings are held in a bespoke format they are unable to convert back to WAV/PCM.

@azicritique I'm afraid it is text to speech. The technology while new, was rather expensive for back in the day. I'm unsure of the particular year these announcements were added however

[@tranviablanco]
