London Waterloo Announcements 28/02/2019

[@davidtaylor7085]

Phil sayer will always be my all time favourite train station announcer

[@joelharris1335]

Change at: Windsor & Eaton Riverside for Windsor & Eaton Central for services to Slough

[@PFCtaylor95]

Phil and old Celia were definitely the best at doing the announcements

[@SylviaGraydon]

The Train at platform 4 is the 10 : 27 South Western Railway service to Strawberry 🍓 Hill

Excellent announcements from Anne at Waterloo station

[@Great_WesternTrainsPlane-wr3vp]

Waterloo needs to install Anne like the one at King's Cross or Paddington

[@Great_WesternTVFan]

@@Szwedo730 yeah. Except for Exeter St Davids. SWR really needs to fix their announcements in general

[@Great_WesternTVFan]

@@Szwedo730 just saying that at Exeter St Davids, the announcements from Anne were fine. Because its also shared with GWR

[@Great_WesternTVFan]

@@Szwedo730 no

[@Great_WesternTVFan]

The way this Anne says "Teddington" and "The Train at" made me laugh

[@joelharris1335]

Change at: Reading for services to South Wales, Bristol, Exeter, Birmingham and the north.

[@ovaltineforlife4778]

Would recommend Guildford at 12:00 on Sunday, as you also get the one-a-week XC out of peak times, along with the rest. The bridge is a good place to get announcements, as you don't need a ticket to access it.

[@HB-wy1dc]

Oh? Do you record announcements at Guildford or other stations on the network then? Maybe you can give Tom some more suggestions and ideas, see if he likes it and take it into account.

[@ovaltineforlife4778]

@@HB-wy1dc No, I don't, I just use Guildford a lot.

[@channel64_thename]

I miss Celia’s announcements and I would prefer the default version of Anne

[@Great_WesternTVFan]

This is the default version of Anne

[@Great_WesternTVFan]

@@Szwedo730 I'm confused. Liverpool Street and Waterloo are the only two stations that have Anne sounding different

[@joelharris1335]

Change at: Chessington South for the bus link to Chessington World of Adventures

[@HB-wy1dc]

What is the configuration after Anne took over Waterloo, still one announcement per train or two? Because I see there's two versions: "The train at Platform X" and "Platform X for the". Also how many minutes before departure did the announcement come?

[@tomsrailannouncements]

Trains are announced 5 and/or 2 minutes before departure time

[@HB-wy1dc]

That makes senses for hearing 2 versions, but with Anne announcing as slow as New Celia here at Waterloo, I wonder of she'll ever be able to pause during rush hours, when Phil and Celia are still in Waterloo, with one announcement per train during rush hours, sometimes they didn't stop announcing trains for 5 minutes. So I really want to know what would happen during rush hours in the afternoon. Maybe they will make Anne do one announcement per train during rush hours like KGX.

[@alexstrains903]

735 HB5201 I hated old Celia because she speaks way too fast

[@Great_WesternTVFan]

Why does Waterloo have a slowed down Anne?

[@liftylu]

All of the South western railway stations have the same voices now, the one for Roger I think has been sped up a bit, I think it’s to increase clarity for those that might not be able to understand what being said.

[@tee.f.n]

Anne continues to take over :/ I missed when Victoria had Only Amey and Waterloo had Old Celia. It felt like it had their own identities

[@Great_WesternTVFan]

Atleast Anne on other London terminuses isn't like herself at Waterloo Station

[@joelharris1335]

Change at: Wimbledon for services on the Croydon Tramlink and the London Underground

[@SylviaGraydon]

Strawberry 🍓 Hill

[@elibennett.x]

Why don't they do 'Platform 8 for the 2020 service to Portsmouth Harbour via Guildoford.'

[@alexstrains903]

Because they probably don't depart from that allocated Platform you idiot XD

[@yy17782]

Phil used to own waterloo and vic. What the hell has happened. True professional voiceover artists gone for this knocked up in 5 seconds crap

[@Great_WesternTVFan]

Anne in general isn't crap. Anne like in Victoria or Paddington sounds not bad. But Waterloo's (Swr's variant) is bad

[@Great_WesternTVFan]

They need to put the original Anne in Waterloo. This Anne sounds weird

[@ovaltineforlife4778]

Woking has Anne and Rodger announcements now. Also, I notice she only announced the train to Addlestone to discourage people from taking that train to Weybridge instead of a faster one.

[@DesiroDriver]

OvaltineForLife that’s nothing new

It isnt Anne is at Nearly at all SWR stations

[@miahaskurti4539]

Ok

[@GadgBoy313]

Yay, Anne at Waterloo!!!! I do prefer the default script to this one though.

[@tomsrailannouncements]

I think everyone does

[@alexstrains903]

Tom Beresford I think these are better. They sound more unique

[@Great_WesternTVFan]

Default script? What's that?

Has it dated enough

Awful choice, First adding the defult voice of anne is a sham. At least Phil and Celia gave south western its own identity

[@alexstrains903]

In my opinion, It’s not a sham

[@andrewoakeshott7759]

Why are these Anne announcements so shit? Honestly, I'm not a great fan of Anne to start with, but she's alright at stations like London Paddington. Don't really mind her there at all to be honest. Roger or "Rodger" also sounds crap on the SWR network. Honestly, why??? Again, I much prefer Phil, but he's alright on the GWR network, so what did they do to make both Anne and Rodger even more fake sounding??

[@liftylu]

I don’t think they do sound fake now, one of the voices has just been slowed down a tiny bit and the other sped up a bit. I have noticed that as well as Waterloo, all of the other SWR stations have these voices now.

[@mrmarcrumbleton8300]
