I've just gone on YouTube to listen, I think it is a new woman. She sounds similar to the one who does the SN/SE electrostars, but with more expression/accent.

Anyone know about Phil Sayer at Aylesbury?

Sorry to bring up announcers, but I've heard rumours that Phil Sayer does announcements at Aylesbury Vale P'way. Is this true?

What ticket did you get to do that route?

I think the two usual suspects now do all Chiltern stations (except Marylebone). The announcements at Clapham missed out Imperial Wharf which was a bit confusing - probably due to the fact they never recorded the station name in their scripts.

As for tickets, I'm a safeguarded ex-BR▸ (British Rail(ways)) employee so I get my 16 free boxes a year, each of which is valid two days for unlimited travel. A perk I don't always manage to use to the full over a year, but it's well worth having for days like yesterday.
