Hi, everyone ... someone had "flagged" me - "what about the copyright issues on these" and I (in turn) flagged it. But this site isn't hosting copies of second generation sound recordings, so (thank goodness!) I don't have to start looking further into it to see if we're hosting material over which Phil, or Atos Origin, or First Great Western could claim copyright. I (away from this forum) have a very large number of images online, and from time to time I come across one of them (or am directed to one of them) is some quite surprising places. Asked ahead of time, I'm usually only too happy for them to be used; used without so much as a "may I", I'm rather less likely to be happy. Same thing with sounds - I have friends and relatives who have had similar situations and it pays to ask / think ahead. "Yes - Phil Sayer would be delighted to have a fanzine site ..." 
Let's move on ... Changing trains at Reading .... Hmmm  |

Here's a teaser for you? Does anyone know the identity of the automated voice on FGW▸ Class 165 and 166's?
It is your voice ?? |

Dunno about the 165/166s, but Croydon Tramlink's announcements are provided by BBC» Newsreader Nicholas Owen.

Sorry, but 4 different sources all say it's Nicholas Owen, what source do you have that says otherwise?
I'll EDIT as well! Changed 'Nick' to 'Nicholas'

The source I used was my ears and memory! But it could be the other Nick Owen. |

You'll note I originally said Nicholas Owen, BBC» Newsreader. I was not referring to Nick Owen, BBC Midlands Today presenter and former comfy sofa presenter with Anne Diamond. Apologies for the confusion. |

Assumed Nick was short for Nicolas - but Wiki make this the distinction, so...  |

Nicholas Owen is a very keen railway enthusiast. I once had the pleasure of spending 6 hours or so in his company on a Central European equivalent of the Orient Express (The Majestic Imperator if I recall) from Prague. He was absolutely delighted that my (then) employer had invited him and Mrs Owen along.

On a vaguely related note, I did think it was great when I discovered that the lifts at Bristol Parkway have a broad Bristolian accent for the "doors closing", "platform level", "footbridge level" etc announcements. Were they recorded by the station staff?
