Manchester Victoria Announcements 04/10/22

Celia Drummond announcements at Manchester Victoria railway station.

[@DragonfoxyAj]

It’s so unusual having Celia at a major station! But I love it! She could do with being turned up abit, it gets real loud in Manchester Victoria (at least in my experience, with lots of diesel engines)

[@connorwatson7823]

Brilliant! I love hearing Celia at major stations and certain services to the North East, particularly that TPE to Saltburn 😁

[@tomsrailannouncements]

Thanks Connor, glad to hear!

[@RGWUltraFan]

*Saltburn is good btw*

[@jamiehooper5328]

Nice catch I guessed correctly when Andrew sent me the short platform clip surprised the cancelled announcement is similar to SWR

[@tomsrailannouncements]

Thanks Jamie!

@@tomsrailannouncements I left a comment.to.both you and Parellel about new recordings made by Anne and Rodger.

Was the Liverpool - Edinburgh (via York) Tpe nova 1 Service Axed?

[@tomsrailannouncements]

split at newcastle

[@Parallel395]

Excellent video as usual. I love how it sounds like she's shouting when she says "FIFTEEN! minutes late..." due to mixing old recordings with new ones.

[@tomsrailannouncements]

Thanks! I think I've said this before, but Northern should just use New Celia so there's less weird changes in voice

[@Parallel395]

I agree, and tbh I really liked New Celia when she was used for the SWT/SWR CIS.

[@RGWUltraFan]

@@tomsrailannouncements yea like it makes her sound like a robot fr 😭😭😭

[@mindthegapplease3840]

My favourite railway station... in the world thanks to Train Sim World 2.

[@THAMESLINK319]

I wonder how long Celia will last on the Northern network? I wouldn’t be surprised if they switch back to Anne at some point.

[@RGWUltraFan]

Some northern stations use Anne (eg. Horden)

[@THAMESLINK319]

@@RGWUltraFan Northern haven’t used Anne for a long time now. Every station has Celia.

[@AutoUnder]

With Northern now being managed by the DfT, it wouldn't surprise me either when their contract with KeTech expires, especially considering the issues they've had with it. Someone I know who works at a Northern station hates it

[@bus3s]

not every, some have anne but are due to replace her with celia, and some have acapella rachel@@THAMESLINK319

*train gets cancelled* Celia: *NAW ITS JUST A DELAY ITS FINE 😀*

She seems to have about 6 versions of this station recorded 😂

[@nicholasbeggs6081]

Can’t believe both Manchester Victoria and Manchester Oxford Road have switched back to Celia (no offence to her). I prefer Anne.

[@AviationWorld-75]

Same

[@Cazkumali]

They may put Anne back on again you never know

[@faberoony90]

@@Cazkumali They will do. They've not really got a choice since Celia's passing a year or so ago.

[@RGWUltraFan]

They might both become stations when they both do announcements idk 😀

[@bus3s]

they wont@@faberoony90

[@tomsrailannouncements]

What is your local station

[@premraghvani]

[@tomsrailannouncements]

Tbf I do have several videos of Anne and Celia saying Mills Hill
