charliepetty Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 HELP REQUIRED!!!!! We are looking for 'Recordings' of non specific passenger announcements like: Arrive Train Wales welcomes you aboard this service, please familiarise yourself with the safety notices adjacent to the doors, OR SIMILAR. Short but sweet, does not have to have Arriva mentioned, but nicer if it has! Thanks in anticipation. Charlie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Coryton Posted July 7, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 7, 2014 HELP REQUIRED!!!!!

Short but sweet, does not have to have Arriva mentioned, but nicer if it has! Thanks in anticipation. Charlie. I don't think any automated announcements on Arriva Trains Wales Pacers do mention the company name. I think they have been there since the Wales and Borders days if not before. For true realism, it needs to repeat: "Welcome aboard. Please familiarise yourself with the safety information mounted between the saloon windows*. Emergency door opening instructions are located close to the doors. Please ensure all luggage on overhead racks is safely stowed, and when you leave the train, please mind the gap between the train and the platform, and take care as you alight. Thank you." at aggravatingly frequent, but apparently random, intervals. * It's not between the saloon windows. But that's where the announcement says it is. Though now I think about it, it may be only the 142's that have these announcements. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepetty Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Any chance of asking a guard to play one/two different ones when the train is quiet at a terminus in the valleys! Recording it on a mobile phone or video camera!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Coryton Posted July 7, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 7, 2014 Any chance of asking a guard to play one/two different ones when the train is quiet at a terminus in the valleys! Recording it on a mobile phone or video camera!!!! So far as I know there is just the one (tediously long) automated announcement on Arriva's pacers, which is played at apparently random intervals. I've never heard any others, and I travel on them most days. And I'm not even sure the 143's have them - it might just be the 142s, which are a lot more common, at least on the line I use.
