I briefly lived in London and I remember how the Piccadilly Line announcements were my favorite. Julie Berry’s voice is so pleasant. Used to take it from Hammersmith into Central London
Never had any troubles with the tube. Always on time (eventhough the timetable doesnt matter really). There may be a few delays, but you need to keep in mind, that its pretty hard to run a complex network perfectly.
@@maxchan6687 the japanese railways were build around 30 years ago. Its hard to compare a rather new network with a 150 year old public transport network that runs underground most of the time. Due to there beeing more trackwork and harder maintenance and more trains running on one line at a time, it is harder to maintain a steady service.
@@zeeshanrahman7669 yeah, rush hour is a very „special“ time. Its extremly crowded. A full set could host around 500 people? But everyone could get off the train in case they need to.
For a long time the Piccadilly didn't have the on-board automated announcements like the other lines. Instead, a recording would play over the platform speaker system when the doors opened. Each station had a different voice; it gave them a unique identity!
I rode the Piccadilly Line in December 2002 and sadly that was the only time I rode it in-person. I remember the Northern and Jubilee Lines having automated announcements and sort of a creepy voice announcing "This is Russell Square" whenever the Piccadilly would stop.
This is so nostalgic. I used to travel to Russell Square from Gloucester Road when I was in university. The most nostalgic thing (for me) is the beeping sound just before the doors close :)
I used to take the Piccadilly Line up to Russel Square annually for GOSH, so it was a lovely childhood memory, especially the noises when it moves along the rails and the announcer
Man I remembered getting on the Piccadilly Line from London Heathrow to go to Kings Cross Saint Pancras in July 2019. I will miss that. It was during a heat wave and it was SO hot in the train.
@@budapestkeletistationvoices OK good thing when we went back to London after a few days of going to Paris {Yes our flight went to London Heathrow then we took a train to Paris from Kings Cross / St Pancras} it was nice & chilly We only went on the Piccadilly, Jubilee, & Victoria lines in England Our hotel in London was close to the Southwark station On the way to Kings Cross St Pancras I didn’t know about the word ‘c*ck’ and didn’t react to the announcement: “this is a Piccadilly line service to Cockfosters”, which I heard a zillion times 😂
@@budapestkeletistationvoices I never heard about Nunhead (xD) til now & I know Seven Sisters (weird name) is a Victoria line station I live in LA so I don’t have all of the knowledge of the London public transportation
I find it hysterical that the Piccadilly Line says "This is a Piccadilly Line Service to Cockfosters/Heathrow/Uxbridge" instead of "this train terminates at (Morden/Stanmore/High Barnet)" like on the Northern and Jubilee Lines. I also think the voice sounds older than on the Northern and Jubilee Lines.
Thing is, I've got an East End of London accent and I wouln't want to hear my lot on the annoncements! RP English is best for announcements and the news - I've always thought this and always will!
@@Mike8981 what accent should be used? It depends on what the aim of the announcements is. If we take the example of London Bridge it's absolutely disfunctional, in addition it is made in a manner that cannot be heard in its entirety or partly where it is played. Same is true to Blackfriars. The volume is so low that it is hard to hear when the station isn't particularly noisy. But it is played when the train is arriving at the platform, so it cannot be heard because of its noise. In many stations they are just turned off and operator makes live announcements similar to the driver's announcements here. As a consequence the purpose of national rail announcements isn't to give information to customers, but to justify an amount of public spending made. Relating to TfL announcements they are better than that of National Rail, but tfl never updates its announcements, never prepares special announcements for closures or engineering works or suspensions. In my experience tfl tends to make things to answer criticism.
it's because it goes to Terminal 4 first where it waits some time and then continues to 1, 2, 3. But these days T4 is closed and all trains go to T5 or Hatton Cross.
I don't understand it fully. Someone was using a camera on the platform and he was "adviced that it is not allowed". He was also referred to somewhere.
I miss london so bad
I briefly lived in London and I remember how the Piccadilly Line announcements were my favorite. Julie Berry’s voice is so pleasant. Used to take it from Hammersmith into Central London
I also like July Berry's voice. Sarah Parnell, Celia Drummond and Emma Hignett are also good
literally
1:48 "There is a good service operating on all lines."
Best joke I've ever heard.
I wouldn't call Londen Overground a good service

When did announcements & LED announcement displays get added to London Underground trains?
@@r4ls3i60 the earliest train to have led was the jubilee line in 1999 and the next was the piccadilly and district sometime in the late 2000s
I miss Picadilly Line so bad. "NORTH EALING"
Just love her voice - I think Julie Berry (and Sally Boazman from BBC Radio 2) have the best female voices around.
5:45 😅
gloucester road was marked with a tick in the tube map?

this nostalgia still operates on the Piccadilly line. For us it is an everyday experience

The Victoria and Central Lines are much much hotter.
@@budapestkeletistationvoices OK good thing when we went back to London after a few days of going to Paris {Yes our flight went to London Heathrow then we took a train to Paris from Kings Cross / St Pancras} it was nice & chilly
We only went on the Piccadilly, Jubilee, & Victoria lines in England
Our hotel in London was close to the Southwark station
On the way to Kings Cross St Pancras I didn’t know about the word ‘c*ck’ and didn’t react to the announcement: “this is a Piccadilly line service to Cockfosters”, which I heard a zillion times 😂
@@r4ls3i60 well. And howabout Nunhead and Seven Sisters? Both are funny
@@budapestkeletistationvoices I never heard about Nunhead (xD) til now & I know Seven Sisters (weird name) is a Victoria line station
I live in LA so I don’t have all of the knowledge of the London public transportation
@@r4ls3i60 Nunhead is a rail station. Seven Sisters refers to 7 trees nearby. There are a lot of oaks (Sevenoak, Gospel Oak, Burnt Oak)
I just love the Piccadilly line
I like it too, however, it's not my favourite
I've always felt the first part of "this" is clipped in this "this is (X station)" announcement
I only went to london a month ago for a few days, but this is still somehow nostalgic. weird
My sister and I always joke that the announcer for this line sounds like Joanna Lumley.
I’ve always thought the same! It sounds just like her
It seems that the exit to British Museum announcement was moved from Russell Square to Holborn
interesting observation
And on the Victoria line it is at Kings Cross St Pancras
It wasn't, or maybe it was for a bit but its been moved back. I heard it recently.
I find it hysterical that the Piccadilly Line says "This is a Piccadilly Line Service to Cockfosters/Heathrow/Uxbridge" instead of "this train terminates at (Morden/Stanmore/High Barnet)" like on the Northern and Jubilee Lines.

I think it is a Northern Line train terminating at orden via Bank
Rn i live in Alperton and the Piccadilly line is my fav ngl out side my houes
The piccadilly line is my favorite line because it is easy to do and from the the Heathrow Airport
try the new TFL Rail
@@budapestkeletistationvoices and now the Elizabeth line😀

Kinda peeves me that it says "Heathrow Terminals 4 & 1, 2, 3" instead of the other way round
it's because it goes to Terminal 4 first where it waits some time and then continues to 1, 2, 3. But these days T4 is closed and all trains go to T5 or Hatton Cross.

Can you do Piccadilly line Earl court to Rayners Lane
Yes
I’m gonna be honest, it’s weird hearing her on the underground😂😂I’m more used to her announcements on national rail, mainly southeastern
Thameslink, Great Northern, Southern, Greater Anglia, C2C
That’s good quality actually. What was it the driver was talking about it before he left Russell Square? It was kind of hard to tell. Thank you.
I don't understand it fully. Someone was using a camera on the platform and he was "adviced that it is not allowed". He was also referred to somewhere.
@@budapestkeletistationvoices That sounds interesting. I wonder why as well. They could have been spotting as soon as that train came in?
@@liftylu they are afraid of that the spotters would leave bombs or suicide belts at the station. It's a common place practice in London
@@budapestkeletistationvoices Ah, interesting. I do get that as well.
@@liftylu well, in the reality, it's bs. It's just they don't want competition in publishing Underground related content
You don’t happen to know if all of the lines are using the new equipment do you either that or know somebody who would
