Train Announcer Julie Berry On The Piccadilly Line & More!

Julie Berry has been one of the best-loved voices in London for over 20 years. Apart from a tremendous range of styles and characters, her voice has a natural warmth and authority, which has always been very popular with the major advertisers. She was the original voice model for BT's Directory Enquiries and is still the voice in the tubes of the Piccadilly line.
She began her working life as an actress. After a long spell in the West End, a Play of the Month for the BBC and a very happy time on the Radio Drama Company making radio plays for the BBC, she opted for life behind the microphone in the world of voice overs.
Recent work includes documentaries for Channel 5 (Interview with a Cannibal), Meridian (The Castle), Sci-Fi Channel (Rutger Hauer), Sky (Twins in Peril) and Crime and Investigation Network (The Real NCIS series).
Please use the buttons on the left to find out more about her ISDN facilities and to see and hear some audio and video samples.
Over the last 15 to 20 years, Julie has been involved in many major TV and radio campaigns.

Weird hearing her talk normally instead of announcing 😂

[@Duncan1974]

She's got that classic "Radio 4" type voice!

[@lmj9517]

I ❤ Piccadilly line!

[@manusmacgearailt667]

I hope they keep her voice on the new trains🥹

[@pastorcmentarny8504]

Thank you for the interview. I was always curious about the mysterious voice behind the Piccadilly line.

[@TransporterTony]

Lovely interview. Its nice to have a bit of transparency. :) Julie operates on the Piccadilly and various bombardier national rail
trains, including TfL Rail. Very well Julie!

[@lmj9517]

[@jameswatt8168]

ICON of London!!!

[@zulyhuang5691]

I pressed a button on my Toyota Rav-4 2020 steering wheel and I thought the voice was very familiar. I think it’s Julie’s voice!. Brought back fond memories of my time in London when I took the Piccadilly line

[@EWSTrains]

[@eswnl1]

I wonder if they record her saying the place names and then they stitch the recordings later to come up with custom announcements.

[@hawthornselitelevel1220]

Nice looking as well!

[@nicotc95]

"This a piccadilly line service to Cockfosters"

[@RICHARD22570]

She also on GTR Thameslink mainly

[@danieldabloxgamer9205]

She is probs on EMR next

[@fbl.editz6]

Bruh it’s weird saying stuff like that instead of saying “We are now approaching New cross Please make sure you have all your belongings with you before you leave the train”

[@qdog568]

Was just vacationing in Brighton, and heard her on the Gatwick express, and the Piccadilly line, going home. Very soothing voice.

[@realfrowz]

'we will be calling at Watford Junction, Harrow and Wealdstone, Bushey, Wembley Central and London Euston.'

[@scottmurphy4278]

She did the announcements on the old Midland Metro T69s as well

[@tkings5132]

I can’t hear her, I can only hear, welcome aboard this Southeastern service to St Pancras… 😂

[@midnight_styx]

Or « This train is the Southern service to, London Victoria »

[@lmj9517]

"this is a southeastern service, to, St Pancras International..." and?

[@Asklepios27]

[@bingbangbong3159]

She sounds like Joanna Lumley

[@rhysrobertstransportationa1668]

Welcome to this merseyrail service to Liverpool central

[@Andy28548]

Merseyrail aswell

[@hawthornselitelevel1220]

I actually sound like the male version of her! it can be a double edged sword as some people like my voice, ( I have done some voice over work) but not so good in places like pubs, as people think I'm either being sarcastic, or winding them up!

[@axolotlgamer615]
