I miss Phil

[@dptransportvideos2752]

The SWR announcements are alright but it's only when Rodger does short platforms they sound bad. Please could you do Fareham or Southampton Central!

I miss the jingle that used to play at this station before an annoucement was made, I noticed it was usually at stations where Phil voiced the annoucements. I'm not sure if there's a name for it or if there are any stations left that still use the jingle. Although Rodger and Anne do a good job, apart from when Anne says "South Western Railway" it sounds like a completely different tone to the voice enough for it to stand out and a noticeable small pause before the line is spoken lol

Why is Rodger at Vauxhall his voice is to robotic and unenthusiastic is the budget that bad for them not installed an announcer with clear pronunciation and more fluency when announcing the places. Rodger can't pronounce some of places properly and also to many gaps with each station when announced. Should have given the job to Celia Drummond or Anne at least with their voices is clear and have more of a vibrant tone when pronouncing places.

[@EthanAfro707]

@@tomsrailannouncements ok. I was thinking of doing my own announcement series. Is it better to stand under a speaker or on a platform

[@tomsrailannouncements]

Standing close to a speaker

[@EthanAfro707]

@@tomsrailannouncements Ok. Brilliant. Thanks for the advice

[@elibennett.x]

Why do they say sometimes 'The next train to leave platfrom 1 is the SWR service to lon wloo' shouldnt they say the time

[@ovaltineforlife4778]

Because they are so frequent, and Vauxhall is the last stop before Waterloo anyway.

[@HB-wy1dc]

This phenomenon occurs in many SWR London Sub-urban stations on its London Bound services.

[@EthanAfro707]

Because they are so frequent. No point so it just wastes time

[@elibennett.x]

Please do Fareham

[@Yoshifanmusic1]

Do Clapham junction announcements all trains platform

[@EthanAfro707]

Yes. Every platform

[@tomtrainspotter7231]

Rodger sounds absolutely awful, he has been so rushed, bring back Phil sayer!

[@petersebok9284]

He has a good voice, a similar tone to Phil, but he sounds too robotic

[@liketeenieping]

I hate Rodger!!! I like Phil and Celia more

[@GrimeGamer360]

Awful announcements

[@tomsrailannouncements]

GWR Rodger is ok, its just SWR made him sound awful

[@GrimeGamer360]

Tom Beresford yes because SWR made him sound unnatural by pressing the x2 speed button on his voice recordings

[@ovaltineforlife4778]

@@GrimeGamer360 and put longer gaps between words

[@GrimeGamer360]

OvaltineForLife speeding him up caused the longer gaps in fact 😂
