@@TheChiefBeef666 no, the Atos system uses recordings of real people (TTS tends to be found on microPA units built into displays at smaller stations). Example of how the recordings are seperated on Atos: The next train to arrive at platform 1 will be the 10 12 (name of operator) service to (destination) calling at (each calling point is a recording) and (destination) etc...
Loving your announcement videos, especially this one from New Street. Just wondering, are the announcements only playing on the platforms, and/or are there any playing on the concourse?
Please can you do an updated Birmingham New Street announcements video? Since 14 February 2021, on the Aberystwyth services there's a new calling point of Bow Street inbetween Borth and Aberystwyth.
One announcement for trains which start at the station announced three minutes prior to departure time, two for through trains, one a few minutes before arrival and again when the train is arriving into the station.
Grand Central is the name of the current (since 2015) shopping centre and food court above the edges of the station concourse. The station itself is called Birmingham New Street. Also, the time stamps only work for elapsed time.
great video is there a train that goes to leamington spa? if so which way does the train leave to go to there. does it turn right or left? does it pass tyseley?
Once at Irlam train station the train driver said *Why were you running up and down the train* and they was like: *We wasn't doing it* but other passengers seen it, and reported it to Northern Rail and I got to ban them from Northern xD and the driver did a 3-tone to me but the stupid passengers thought it was to them but it was actually due to the passengers throwing a bottle at the train. And the train had some SERIOUS damage then. I was like: *Ididots!* And they couldn't go down the Manchester to Liverpool line again untill the were 56 xD (they were 18 or 19)
what I don't get is, Anne is the boss of Atos and literally could've loaded up Ruth's recordings to have a listen to the correct pronunciations of the Welsh station names, but nope...
