The macro config for the Swansea & Llandudno Jnc announcement isn't set up right in the Ketech system. If it's a 4 car train dividing at Cardiff Central continuing thereon as a 2 car, it's supposed to be: "The next train to arrive at Platform 4 is the 09:48 service to Swansea & Llandudno Junction. Calling at and Cardiff Central - where the train will divide - please make sure you travel in the correct part of this train. This train is formed of 4 carriages. Customers for Llandudno Junction, should travel in the front 2 carriages of the train. The rear 2 carriages of the train will detach and terminate at Cardiff Central / OR / The next train will divide at Cardiff Central."
You are correct but the service was formed of a 3-car 175 so I think the system got confused and didn’t know where the unit was working after Cardiff where the divide was due to take place.
@@Parallel395 yeah thats true it's maybe been input as a dividing 3 car train but it was an entire unit that cannot detach lol, generally the auto announcements for any other TOCs other than Northern's own, aren't always accurate.
Have the broken announcements ever been reported here? Northern do usually fix faults that have been reported via email; also to me it sounds like it's a fault with the PA mixer rather than Celia directly since she sometimes can say some messages but not all the time (not including when stations are missed out completely). Also never knew she could say Avanti West Coast!
Good lord Announcements broken for years at Wilmslow and still not fixed. Even Celia can say Avanti West Coast but not Transport for Wales, which is quite a shame.
it's managed by Northern so of course it has Celia (and maybe Louisa Gummer for some newer recordings such as "for a connecting bus service to" or "a short notice change to the timetable")
Nice video, glad she can finally (in a way!) say Avanti West Coast. Though it would've been easier if Northern got her to record it while she was alive!

This video is fantastic. Even though the announcements are broken but the video is still nice. Keep it up
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it

Loads and loads of times
@@tomsrailannouncementsI’ve just tweeted Northern with a clip of this video attached. We’ll just have to see what they say

Only "Arriva Trains Wales" exists in the system, which can't be used anymore as it's classed as incorrect information
A direct train from Swansea to Wrexham? Hmm that would be interesting...
Are you gonna do announcements at brandon pls
Bit odd for Celia to announce at Wilmslow
it's managed by Northern so of course it has Celia (and maybe Louisa Gummer for some newer recordings such as "for a connecting bus service to" or "a short notice change to the timetable")
@@LokiAvivson yeah I know she announces at northern stations but with avanti stopping there it seems odd to hear her say avanti west coast
Nice video, glad she can finally (in a way!) say Avanti West Coast. Though it would've been easier if Northern got her to record it while she was alive!
Thanks. I wonder if she recorded it before her death but they were late using it for some reason
