I Am The Voice of GWR Christmas 

Just how I like my railway announcements, with generic office background noise

I'm a little surprised at how low tech the recordings are - in a noisy office with a headset. I would have thought they'd at least do it in a quiet room. Then again, it's not like you're going to be listening critically.

I love Geoff’s passion.... and with this cool music he is basically the Casey Neistat of London, or at the very least the railway. ✅👌

Slough and Swindon in one video? Am I watching an episode of The Office?!

I've recently moved to London, and I haven't really had that "wow I'm in London" feeling.. until I suddenly heard your voice on the Thameslink.

Love you videos mate. You always put a smile on my face. Merry Christmas 👍👍

I am the voice of my model railway at my home.

Next week, Geoff records "mind the gap" and has a tubegasm.

Oh no. Now I'm going to be haunted by Geoff every time I go on the train. Aaargh!

Ah, so I did hear your voice recently at Truro station. I thought that was you.

"Still grey outside" dude, you live in England...

Geoff Marshall. Rail Expert. According to the graphics on BBC London this evening. You were on the final Chiltern service from Paddington to Ruislip and High Wycombe. I've done that return trip myself. A total of five people on board, two of them were staff, including the driver.

By rights, this should be the most boring video on RU-vid. Man gets train to Swindon. Visits an office and records a short announcement at a desk. He then visits Slough where he sits in an empty waiting room and then on a platform, to listen to the announcement. Except it's Geoff Marshall, which is why the like to dislike ratio is 116:1. How do you make this so entertaining?

And another great video! I love to follow your passion and the musical choices for your vids. Hope to see a lot more

Your videos make me feel happy! Thank you Geoff!!!

I absolutely love Rob. He should be in more videos!

Love your videos Geoff! Idk why but even i got excited when i heard your voice over the PA! Amazing job

Yo ho ho, merry Christmas scallywags

It's amazing that the man talking in the background and the cough at the end didn't make it onto the recording.

Love your enthusiasm!

That’s bloody amazing Geoff! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

This is entertaining to watch. Merry Christmas!

When I get my train on the way back home for Christmas from London to Bath I'll be listening out for you Geoff!! Can't wait

Merry Christmas and a happy new year

That smile when you first heard your voice was brilliant! I managed to catch your Thameslink one a while back, now I've got a new one to find!

I heard you on the announcement at my local station on Thursday whilst waiting for my train to work, was a superb announcement and I hope GWR let you do more of them!

I’m so happy! That’s amazing Geoff, congratulations 🎊

That's such an amazing experience, so happy for you!

Thought I heard a familiar voice waiting for the school train! Great vid and great announcement. Seems like you have a knack for this kind of thing.

Good job, Geoff & Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Geoff and a wonderful train filled New Year

Congratulations, Geoff. Such an honor! Merry Christmas!

Living in Swindon and using GWR quite a bit, I look forward to your dulcet tones. Interesting to see the people behind those announcements I hear all the time.

So cool! Merry Christmas!

This is so cool! Congrats Geoff!

The bin bags video you made is still one of my all-time favourites. Who knew bin bags could be so interesting?

That was totally a geek out moment Geoff! Good job man!

Thank you for showing me the CartoMetroLondon map. This map fascinates me, as it actually shows the correct path for the Piccadilly line and I can follow it accurately like when I came to London in 1993 and got off at Russell Square, and my hotel was nearby. For some reason, maps fascinate me and the tube was like one big map I could easily get around when I was there. Thank you again Geoff.

Now we just need you on Southern and their stations!

Excellent video as always. Wonderful if your voice is at Coombe Junction Halt. 😉 Wonder if the help point is stall saying "please wait"

Nice one Geoff! I am picking my daughter up from Tiverton Parkway station on the 24th, i will make sure i am at the station a bit early so i catch your announcement! Merry Christmas to you and Viki.

I love the big smile on your face at the end hearing your own voice :D

I really like you videos. So informative. Thank you

Brilliant stuff Geoff Well done 👌🏻

Geoff I love how you are helping the train network! Easily my favourite youtuber.

cant believe im watching this at 9 in the morning in aus you are such a nerd but so watchable merry xmas from australia

I live in glorious Swindon 😀 the description of the station from he book The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The nighttime is still very much true

I was on the Thameslink service up to Peterborough a few weeks ago and I'd completely forgotten you were doing the announcements. I was really confused when I heard a familiar voice over the PA!

So looking forward to hearing you in Penzance.

This should officially be declared as a quite amazingly good clip.

Awww such fond memories ... I met my wife - kind of - in Slough. We were on a GWR (or then First Great Western) train from Paddington to Reading and the train had an emergency stop at Slough (we do not know why), with alarms sounding in the train. She sat next to me throughout the trip but we didn't speak or look at each other. But when the train stopped so abruptly with the smell of asbestos from the brakes and all I turned to her and said "well this can't be good, can it?" ... best pickup line ever ;-)

I went to Cambridge today and your voice came on the PA system. It was the slow service from King's X. You said something about cancellations at the weekend and planning ahead.

This is playing at Heathrow Airport National Rail stations also :)

I'm so happy for You Geoff. 👏

He's got SUCH A GOOD announcement voice :)

Brilliant !

Been keeping an ear out and finally got to hear you today at 17:55 at Wokingham :)

I knew it was you on the announcement at hesrhrow... I had to listen to it loads to figure it out. Man your a lucky guy

Geoff, In August, I did a day of my work experience in Western House!

its awesome you get to do these things!

I'd love to hear on the "See it. Say it, Sorted" Announcement. At least at one station at some times a day would be brilliant 😄

Awesome 😀 love the episode, keep it up

Things to do before Christmas: visit a GWR owned Station at aether 03 or 33 minutes past the hour. Great video as always Geoff.

Making the W in GWR taller in the captions was a nice touch.

Your face while it was playing at the end was priceless.

OMG this is Amazing woohoo 🎉 ❤️ Love from London, England 🇬🇧 ❤️

The smile on his face when he hears himself is just magic!

So one of my favourite youtubers is now the voice of my favorite railway operator! Nerdgasm

Wow! I commute between Bristol and Swindon by train 4 days a week for college - I thought the voice sounded familiar. Congratulations, Geoff!

Another great vid

The voice of Christmas yet to come.

Fingers crossed I'll hear you when I head home from Uni later this month

This was a fun video to watch. You appeared to enjoy doing this one.

Well done Geoff! The voice of Christmas 😁

A day out in Swindon. Lucky you! (I do live there btw!) When were you here?

Nicely done SIR!!

Great video Geoff, but honestly you should know how many GWR Stations there is... after all you visited All the Stations (shame there no plug emoji) and as for that map at 7:14 you can get that map in a book with the rest of the network, called 'TRACKatlas of Mainland Britain' which Platform 5 published but it does cost £27.95!

This is wholesome content

Well, I am going to Bristol tomorrow so I'll I will make sure I listen to your announcements!

Your face everytime you heard your own announcement is such an aww! ;D

That GWR trackwork map looks amazing. I doubt there's a place to find it elsewhere?

He's so excited 😆 Bless him

My nearest GWR station is Oxford so I will have to go down there and hear the announcement.

Merry Christmas, everyone 🎅

Heard this announcement when I was waiting for my hour late train home from school. Classic GWR

I like that bit tsch-tsch-tsch as the gantries go by and the cut-cut-cut. that's good.. thanks. Oh and G-W-Aha!

Congratulations

I feel so sorry for you, having to come to Swindon. To be honest, I'd never want to go there. Oh, wait. I live in Swindon 🙁

This is actually really cool!

keep up the amazing content

*distracted* Oh, NSE logo! :) Your face when the announcement is made! Hahaha. Nice one.

Heard you at Filton Abbey Wood the other day and spent a few minutes thinking about it! Made my day tho tbh. 😂

I'm here to hear the voice of GWR Christmas past.

So cool!

Pretty damned epic! My dad - his dad, his 3 sisters, brother and numerous cousins - were on the GWR when trains were trains and you got smut in your eye if you leaned out the window 🚂 😀 Thanks for this, I'll tell my daughter to check out the train times. Really useful! § Smut - the old word for grit/smoke from a steam train. Just in case anyone didn't know...

I have and idea for a new mini series. You do weird little stations. An example would be my local station, cheddington on the WCML. Just an idea

I'm going to take my little boy to the station train spotting tomorrow. Will make sure I listen out!

i might just have to sit at the station after work to hear that next week

I really can't believe that they record these with those guys LOUDLY chatting in the background... Shocking.

Excellent!!
