Lack of Welsh signage on IET fleet

then people in Somerset and Bristol would want an announcer with a local accent.

My vote would be for an Adge Cutler sound-a-like.

Mine, too: Adge grew up, and is buried, in Nailsea.

If GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) did that, the Cornish would want their language on its IET^▸ (Intercity Express Train - replacement for HSTs (manufactured by Hitachi in Kobe, Japan))'s, then people in Somerset and Bristol would want an announcer with a local accent. One standard announcer should be used across the IET sets as is being done!

Looking wider, many new passengers to Newcastle would miss their stop because they couldn't understand Geordie!

[Bmblbzzz]

I remember being on a bus going up the Gloucester Rd in Bristle and the driver being unable to understand two Geordies who got on by Zetland Rd. That was over twenty years ago, mind.*

*And far more recently, a woman from Preston was telling one from Rochdale she'd been in the South West too long because she was saying "mind" at the end of sentences; at which a bloke from Sunderland (also long term resident here) pointed out people commonly use that in the North East.
