Nice video Tom hope you had a good Christmas and a Happy New Year there seems to be alot of changes going on with announcements lately I heard on FOI that A. Northern want to install more PA announcements on station that don't currently have one over the next 2 years some have already been installed like Fimley and Horwich Parkway. B. The contract for KeTech has expired this month for Northern so KeTech/Celia are currently on limbo. Also Horwich Parkway is now managed by Transport for Greater Manchester. Also I heard that Ruth may soon be replaced with a welsh famle announcer at stations. Elin Llywd is going to replace Ruth on the rolling stocks that have her shes already on Class 197s and 231s and Glyn will be added in order to meet Welsh lanuage standards. Glyn will also be replaced at stations too.

Nice video - it sounds as if they didn’t replace all the existing horn speakers with new speakers at this station
