*sobs in TTS* I remember when someone said that one of the operators was moving over to a TTS system and I burst out laughing. Absolutely dreadful. Thanks for a most amusing video!
@@simontay4851 Text to Speech. A few years back there was a TTS system in use at East Midlands Trains and it was dreadful. Much like that announcement at Wem.
Yesterday I was on a GWR service to Banbury and the announcements said "This is a great western railway service to Banbury We'll be calling at Culham, Radley, Oxford, Tackley, Kings Sutton and..." I then began to laugh about the glitch
The Sheffield announcement at Cleethorpes used to be an absolute mess (no idea if it still is or not, not been for 6 years..). It would skip Retford and say “this train will call additionally at … today” 😂
Acapela Rachel which did that last one is known for messing the announcements up, like when it say New Mills Central, it says New Mills Ctral, and Manchester Piccadilly is called Manchester Pic
that's because "she" is a TTS (text-to-speech) voice so "she" literally says what the text says, meaning that "she" says any abbreviations, like Ctrl and Picc. In a different area, I've heard "her" saying "this service is operated by GWR service", because GWR was using "GWR service" as their TOC name on the Infotec CIS screens, rather than just "GWR" or "Great Western Railway".
Calling at Lydney, Chepstow, Caldicot, seven tunnel junction, Newport, ???????? And ???????????? Platform 3 for the 19:45 Arriva train Wales service to ?????? Where Newport Cardiff Central where

“Colwyn Bay and Llandudno Junction may travel in any part of the train.”
I’m sorry what?
The Wem one! 😂😂
“This service is operated by… Arriva trainses…!”
Hi parallel. I love your vids. Keep up the good work :). PS: whats your local trains
Thanks! GWR is my local
There’s one at Carnforth- for some reason it says Aspatria really slow and low pitched. Really caught me off guard 😂
Nice, have Carnforth got their announcements working again? They were broken for a while
@ yeah they’re all back running, just the Aspatria thing (which apparently is the case at all the Cumbrian stations!)
3:56 Julie Berry having a stroke be like:
can you do the delayed and cancelled announcements
Ruth sounds just like Anne when she says “Northern”
That’s because it is Anne! 😁
@@Parallel395 what so they’ve taken Anne’s recording of northern and put it into a whole Ruth announcement :O
@@SWTROfficial yes. Ruth doesn’t have Northern or Merseyrail recorded
Brilliant video
That’s… certainly a way of pronouncing Yorton.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaayaa Yaaaaaaaaaaaaayaa Yaaaaaaaaaaaaayaa h
Birmingham inter nation nal 😂
Love this
Calling at Lydney, Chepstow, Caldicot, seven tunnel junction, Newport, ???????? And ???????????? Platform 3 for the 19:45 Arriva train Wales service to ?????? Where Newport Cardiff Central where
This service isn’t operated by Arriva drains Us 😂
that never happened to me
Couldn't he have just done it now?!?!
Lovely spot of interruption
4 is having a stoke
Ruth couldn't say Northern so Anne said instead like Rodger couldn't say london euston so matt said it instead
What scotland stations on it 😊
dumfries
lol arriva drains us
"TOOLFORT CENTRAL"
No wonder why operators are moving to AI announcements
AI/TTS also fails sometimes
😂
