At Crewe she says-Newport, For GWR she says-Newport but for SWR she says-Newport (SouthWales) it has been a long time since i have heard anne say Newport Southwales
Oh my word! Those VERY SAME two Station Announcers are working EVERY TIME I go to Southsea station. The same woman & man EVERY TIME. They must work FAR TOO MANY HOURS. They need to join a Trades Union. Not fair the long hours they work. But at least the Brighton trains now terminate at Littlehampton these days, meaning shorter announcements for them with those services. (Unlike the 1970s). Next time I go to Southsea, I'll go to see the Station Master & ask him to forward my Gift Vouchers to both of them, as a small token of my appreciation. I wonder if they are married??
Maidenhead? Reading? Slough? Didcot Parkway? I would love to have you recording announcements at those stations so I can hear the normal Rodger rather than this sped-up abomination. Maybe even Warwick or Warwick Parkway to hear the last of Phil Sayer (I am aware there is someone else who will say ‘West Midlands Railway’ for him at those stations like at Moor Street)
