Hereford Railway Station Announcements (Part 2)

[@lordharryx]

seriously Ruth has the best voice and tone for the station announcements. she's totally getting the vibe for Wales lol XD

[@tomsrailannouncements]

I just love the eccentric way Ruth says some places!

[@Parallel395]

Me too, I wish they’d get her to record Low Moor, Bramley and Coleshill Parkway as she can’t say them

[@tomsrailannouncements]

Yes, or at least use Anne's copy

[@jenna_studios510]

Same @Tom’s Rail announcements also @Tom I love your videos you can probably do Hereford someday like Parallel

[@jamiehooper5328]

Nice video Parallel suprisingly no delayed or cancelled trains were announced I was gonna say no staff isolating form Covid.

[@Parallel395]

Most of TfW’s trains were delayed but seems the system has been programmed to not announce delays at Hereford. Delays are not announced at Cardiff Central or Queen Street so must be a TfW thing.

[@jamiehooper5328]

@@Parallel395 How strange that they wouldn't announce them I hope TfW are not cutting back the announcements I know Bridgend and Cardiff Queen Street have 1 announcement per train.

[@Parallel395]

@@jamiehooper5328 Their stations seem to be completely random with how announcements have been programmed

[@jamiehooper5328]

@@Parallel395 Someone said on a FB Post that Newcastle apparently a four tone chime from BR Ditra then Anne saying wet weather announcement.

[@Kent884]

My sister always laughs at the word "alight" these announcement sometimes are either really loud or too quiet :)

Part 3 please

[@jenna_studios510]

I was On platform 1 For my great Western Railway to London Pad

[@Zuuu40]

I can’t wait to listen to this😍

[@jenna_studios510]

When Will trains go on platform 4?!

[@Parallel395]

It's very rare now

[@jenna_studios510]

Thanks Parallel!

[@jenna_studios510]

Why did the train go to Birmingham Snowhill calling at Droitwich spa and Birmingham Snowhill where is Kidderminster Stourbridge Junction Cradley Heath Rowly Regis Smethwick Galton bridge the Hawthorns jewellery quarter?

[@transitcaptain]

Were there work happening on the line to cause the replacement buses?

[@Parallel395]

There were engineering works between Newport and Shrewsbury on the day the bus announcement was recorded

[@NetworkX90]

Hereford actually has Welsh signs, but unfortunately no Welsh announcements.

[@danielsellers8707]

I read that Leominster station has Welsh announcements despite being located in England!

[@grassytramtracks]

Which is unusual, and it's the only station in England to have bilingual English Welsh signs, I believe, though it's not the only to have bilingual signs, because Ashford international, Ebbsfleet international and St Pancras International have signs in French, Southall has signs in Punjabi and on train announcements on trains to Bicester village are in Mandarin Chinese and Arabic because rich Chinese and Arab visitors go shopping there

[@transitcaptain]

It’s a shame that there’s no Welsh at this Station even if it’s in England. I’ve heard that this section of line is very busy

[@Parallel395]

The rolling stock was inadequate on some services as well. I saw a Holyhead to Maesteg train formed of two class 153s

[@carlacourt7216]

Great video. Don't like Ruth. She is too quick.

[@lordharryx]

No Ruth is the best! I love how annoyed she sounds when announcing stations.
