    Don’t Really See A Problem With The New Announcements, But I Will Miss The Old Ones.

    The Bakerloo line rolling stock is expected to remain in service for the next 10 years. That is why they are getting such a big refurbishment.
  • Omg?!!... Wow, jeez... What expect of this looks good enough for new updated it is. God bless the Bakerloo line! Keep up the rooting, buddy. I've lost for words!!... (Oh dear!!!) 😮😮😍😍
  • 'The next train to pass through this station is not in service. Please stand behind the yellow line when the train approaches, use the full legnth of the platform, and let customers off the train first please'
  • @hi-viz
    I wish they would drop the 'please take care' part because it's just incredibly patronising

    "The next train approaching is not in service" Woman: am'keyyy, I'ma try to board it 'nyway
  • Hmmm, the interior is still looking historic even with matrix displays, compared to the 1992 stock.
  • Literally, at first glance I thought it was the driver making the announcement. Emma Clarke was MUCH better. I wish Sarah Parnell did the new announcements in my opinion.
  • For once when we ACTUALLY think Sarah Parnell would work well on a line....she's not included. I hope these aren't the actual announncements, it just sounds very "robotic" in the sense of "This-is-a-Baker-loo-line train to -Queens-park"

    Honestly Elinor Hamilton sounds like a better fit for the Central and Bakerloo lines than whatever this is. There's a balance between how pleasant sounding the announcements are and how clear they are. The older announcements (Emma Clarke ones on the Bakerloo and unrefurbished Central) weren't exactly the most clear (presumably because of bad speakers and ambient noise) but they were quite pleasant to listen to. The Celia Drummond announcements were both clear and pleasant-sounding; they are the best announcements on the tube and strike the best balance between clarity and tone. The Julie Berry announcements on the Piccadilly line were also quite clear and sounded nice too. Then we got Sarah Parnell. The announcements on the Victoria line are clear, but they're a lot less pleasant and a lot of the tones are over-emphasised which makes it sound weird and artificial. The Celia imitation for the Canning Town announcement just sounds awful, while the Elinor Hamilton Battersea Power Station announcements sound somewhat fine, though some of the words are pronounced slightly oddly. Now it's Adrian Heiatt and the announcements sound far too robotic. The consonants are over-emphasised in an attempt to increase clarity but it just sounds weird. If TfL continues down this path their announcements will soon sound worse than Toronto TTC subway announcements which are the most depressing announcements to have ever existed.

    I think the new central line train announcements by Adrian work well and I like them, but him on the bakerloo or piccadilly, nah,
