Looking through the transcript they appear to be covering an extraordinary number of bases, yet not them all. I'm willing to bet the "London Overground Service to..." has never been used, yet if for some unbeknown reason it was needed, they would be unable to say where it was going. Very odd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'WellDel Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Purely a guess as i don't have any inclination to see how extensive the file is, but possibly something to do with the recently departed Abellio? Obviously they were/are operators of a few toc's south of the border too, and the stock station names and phrases can probably be done in the voice of Scotrail lady, Greater Anglia man or whatever. There's every possibility there's a wee Merseyrail wifey version of Partick, or Paisley Gilmour Street that will never be heard over their tannoys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scotrail versions of half the stations north of Dumbarton are bad enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be intrigued to see what the Scotrail version of “Mexia” would be if the Texas high-speed rail, with a local option, ever came to be. For those wondering, it’s “Meh-hay-uh”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I get all that, I just don't see the point in recording "This is a"... "London Overground service to" and then not being able to say, for example, "Richmond" Half arsed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hang on for a bit, I'm sure there will be trains and a lot cheaper than that. If there's engineering works they should lay on coaches for that bit of the journey. I'd expect the strikes to be sorted by then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was going to Edinburgh he could probably have saved money with Lumo. But he wants the West Coast line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
