Alternate L Train to 8th Avenue Announcements

Discord link: / discord
Again, this was an experimental program that we decided to make purely to challenge ourselves (we as in me and TG4164, he made quite a lot of splices in this program). Big thanks to him and also DJR for helping to make the slides. More normal programs are currently in the makings, such as the B train to Brighton Beach and maybe the 2 train without any Dianne...

​XD40 7523 Official Railfan Sincerly, thanks for believing in me. Maybe someday I will! However, uploads may become less frequent now that school's starting again but I'll upload as often as I can

IDK, it sounds better with the original Catherine Announcements.
Nice job nonetheless. Perhaps you can do a video mixing the original 5 train announcements (pre-2004) with the current announcements? That’d be great!

[@ggbmta17]

I'm definitely agreeing with you on that, I love the tone Catherine uses for the L. This Kathleen program was kind of made to stretch the limits of what was possible lol
As for your suggestion, I'm planning to make a 2 train without any Dianne in the future, and I'll try to include Jessica's old transfers in it! (thanks to the 2004ish 5 train via 7th Av program)

[@BJMediaTransit8516]

THIS IS R211

[@nicoyachavis3965]

R179?

[@XZavierdoesStuff]

HE DID IT!!! GGB DID IT!! ALTERNATE L TRAIN!! 3 things
1) The "This is an 8 Av bound L train" announcement cut out "an" so it just says "This is 8 Av bound L train"
2) Can you do J or M alternate announcements next?
3) "Broadway, Union Sq"?

[@ggbmta17]

Yes we finally made it lol
1) It's very subtle and fast but if you listen closely it says "This is a 8 Av bound L train"
2) Maybe...but the J has even more challenging splices. We'll consider them for the distant future, but for now we're working on other programs
3) I know the real announcements say "14 St-Union Sq" but TG decided to change it to that and I went along with it since I always found it unnecessary to say "14 Street" at Union Sq on the L. You may disagree with that though

[@tyrnpatterson]

So much better !

[@ggbmta17]

Damn, you really think so?

[@tyrnpatterson]

[@ggbmta17]

There was no way to include OMNY without using Velina's recording, so I chose not to include it

[@TransitFoamer_JAYDOTT]
