New Mildmay Line London Overground Class 378 Train Announcements

[@monkeyboo381]

Why did they name that line the Mildmay line? The hospital named Mildmay isn’t even close to the Mildmay line but it’s actually closer to the now named Windrush line and also it’s nearer to the weaver line than the Mildmay line.What a rubbish name for this overground line!

it's not that deep tho let's be real

The Northern line is the most southern line, the Circle line isn't a circle...

This just sounds wrong. Bring back the "this is a london overground service" announcement!

[@MPDTransport]

I like the new announcements because it makes it easier for people to navigate, but it seems like you don't care about anyone but yourself 😒

Its after some hospital in Shoreditch. Only problem is that it is not even in fact on the line (It's on the East London/Windrush line), so in general, it's a terrible name for that line.

[@thisis_mudchute]

some hospital not even near the mildmay line

[@camjkerman]

Officially it's after the Mildmay Hospital, though that's not really on the route, and the line cuts through the Mildmay Grove neighbourhood. Mildmay still works, but association could be better.

just add julie berry announcements at this point it will sound way better

[@LokiAvivson]

julie berry is on the 378s but only for the "this is coach number x of x" message at short platforms at surrey quays, canada water, rotherhithe and wapping

[@apelsauz]

Just say this is a london overground service to [x] not this confusing announcements + new london overground map confuses me

I can’t believe there not changing it to a 710

[@tr3yvauhnt4]

@@XIDEOS649 I prefer the class 378’s to the 710. The 710 may be newer, but it just seems so shallow. The announcements and everything. Plus, the 378 has been carrying the London Overground network

[@XIDEOS649]

Yeah but the 710 are bigger and they have air conditioning

[@XIDEOS649]

I understand that but 378 are too small and they get full easily

the 710s will be updated in a few months time

Horrible announcement. Perhaps it should say “This is a Mildmay Line service to Richmond”. “The next station South Acton”.

[@Cowman9791]

In general, a better idea would have just been to make an entirely new set of announcements, rather than revise the old ones which must have been recorded in 2007, given that Emma's voice has changed quite a bit since then.

[@thisis_mudchute]

@@Cowman9791 no, the current announcements are good. just make the 'this is an x line train to' match the old ones. cant be that difficult - i could do it and loads of people can. probably easier to say 'this is a london overground x line train' instead of 'this is an x line train'

[@monkeyboo381]

An even better idea would be to keep the old announcements
