So sad to hear his mellifluous voice on the MBTA will be replaced by a machine. Mr. Oglesby's voice over the T was that smooth constant amidst the rush hour chaos on the weekdays.
Stefan Mogielnicki agreed with you it sounds exactly like him when I listened I was very surprised it was him but sounds exactly like him and his voice
it's so crazy that 2009 really looks ancient compared to now im 28 and yes i said it man life was so much easier back then i miss the early to late 2000s so much
Your Uncle’s got a great voice. He is to the MBTA what Charlie Pelett is to New York’s MTA, he IS the voice of the Subway. That’s why he needs to get back to the studio and record new announcements for the new green line trolleys they just rolled out!
Hearing the voice of a mass transit system and knowing it is great, but it’s even better when knowing who does it and knowing about that specific person who narrates the system during your commutes.
On the green line, I once heard the system malfunction. Instead of saying Heath Street VA Medical Center, it would say "The destination of this train is: change here for the blue line!"
It's funny that the word "approaching" is used when the train is about to enter the station and then the word "arriving" is used when the train is officially entering the station. The next red line train to Alewife is now approaching: the train is about to come. The next red line train to Alewife is now arriving: the train is now coming.
This is Frank communicating through my son's account. I was there last week and the announcements are done by the operators. You couldn't understand them. About 20 years ago WMATA had a nation-wide contest for an announcer in order to transition to an automated system like we do here in Boston. I guess it didn't stick.
gogoburst8 ! There are automated announcements on the Washington Metro’s new train cars. They have a computerized voice, and I’ve noticed some grammar errors in those announcements.
Route 77 service to Harvard:, Station!😃Lol that's the route I always ride on The bus and now it says instead of Harvard station route 77 service to Harvard! Kinda weird did frank change his voice on the route 77 or did the bus people?
