Awesome announcements in English and Welsh Tom. Its very strange that Cross Country long distance services were diverting via Newport rather than via Bristol Parkway.
Great video, some good catches there. Sounds like they’ve done some tweaking of the zones very recently (3-5 & 8-10) which may have resulted in a fault, as when I was last there a few weeks ago, she was announcing (3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10) instead. I like Ruth’s announcements for XC long distance services as they flow very well.
Thanks! Some of them like StBudeaux Ferry Road were completely accidental! Although Ruth doesn't say it particularly well, I prefer 3-5 & 8-10 to saying each individual zone
Agreed. It’d sound instantly better if they used the ‘to’ from her ‘service to’ and cut the clips properly. She sounds shocked when Wheelchair facilities are in ‘Zone... 6!!’ At least the man who used to manually override everything at Newport seems to have moved on.
The first four announcements were from the speaker half way up the stairs near the platform 4 gateline. Most of the rest are from the speaker on p1 that is furthest (of the working speakers) from the station building and is slightly odd in that its facing the dot matrix screen.
Thanks for that. They usually have the London end of Platform 1 closed off but sounds like they moved the barriers to allow for the 8-10 carriage XC trains.
Cross Country Long Distance Diversions. Why Not Put Some Long Distance Services To Newport And Some Via the Normal Way Via Cam & Dursley To Cheltenham? I don't get the reason why it wouldn't work. Strange why It's always A Diverted thing.
@@tomsrailannouncements odd, Ruth’s zones are painfully slow, and how she thinks there are 2 zone 1’s per platform. Eryl can’t help extending dda either.

Nice thing about the amended timetable is to hear some places in Welsh that we otherwise wouldn't.
Definitely!
not just in Welsh, but also a different English voice

Oh I remember ruth's voice at Exeter Central station years ago!
8:33, Eryl literally started laughing
Can I ask where you recorded in the footbridge? The recordings are quite clear - Everytime I’ve tried, they’ve been way too quiet!

Guess I got lucky then!

@@jamiesbusrailandannoucneme1667 Yes But I'm Talking about all year.
Eleven............ *oh one!*
So, we’re still awaiting Eryl to record Worcs Parkway.
He says it at Cardiff Central. But not at Newport for some reason

Maybe she doesn't know how to say 11 😂 Eryl is missing a few things unfortunately
Hopefully that will be rectified some point soon
7:41, Why does Ruth say 1 twice
