Phil Sayer announcements at Birmingham New Street

[luerexbob]

100 times better than that monotone woman announcer.

[michaelhopkification]

Phil Sayer is my favourte announcementer.

[WABBITS8]

@michaelhopkification Mine too!

[elliecoffey]

Has anyone heard the announcement that's just like "Birmingham New Street, THIS is Birmingham New Street." Haha!

[WABBITS8]

He's in East Garforth/Garforth, too. He gets around! Lol! XD!

[pacer142086]

@WABBITS8 he is also in the lifts at Nottingham Station saying "Bridge Level" and "Platform Level" and "Doors Closing!"

[WABBITS8]

@WABBITS8 A lift? Weird!

[MickeyKatella]

@WABBITS8 This is the 16:51 service to blackpool north calling at Bramley, New Pudsey, Bradford Interchange, Halifax, Sowerby Bridge etc etc. Bloody hell's bells he gets around dunnee ?? lol lol

[WABBITS8]

@MickeyKatella Yeah, doesn't he just!

[carsruleok]

This is great,those passengers look frozen though.

[akava77]

I'm sure they used to use this voiceover at Edinburgh Haymerket up until a few years ago, and always found the announcements clear and easy to understand back then. Not any more, now they use the station staff who always shout way too loud and too fast to be understood.

[thefvo]

Yes, her name is Celia Drummond. As for pronouncing the station names, she is given the same direction as Mr Sayer at the time of recording - which are wrongly pronounced?

[WABBITS8]

I hear him all the time in East Garforth.

[lippy88lizzy]

It always cracks me up when I'm waiting for my *Lichfield Trent Valley! :-D* train, and everyone hears that "ding-ding-dong-dong" noise, hoping it's our train on it's way, but it's him going "May I have your attention please?" - as if anyone is going to say no?!?!

lol!

[simonpercy6]

He is the best annoucer ever. Because his voice is informative, clear and cool. I could listen to this alot without geing bored.

[waxhbkhhh]

can u get sme frm stechford, chek on my vidz

[steveallen808909]

i prefer leo sayer but beggers cant be choosers lol

[trowpiks]

Trouble is it is John Mundy doing the announcements!!



[priceshagger]

@trowpiks That is not John Mundy doing the anouncement. It's Phil Sayer 100%, I should know he lives a few doors down from me in North Bolton

[trowpiks]

@priceshagger On second thoughts you are most probably right. I found both gents on the net. They sound very similar.

[priceshagger]

@trowpiks Phil has done very well for himself. He started out as a slot machine repair guy and was then one of the original DJ's on Picadilly Radio in 1974. He's totally down to earth and is most likely one of the clearest voices in the business.

[THAMESLINK319]

Is that woman person gonna replace him fully? I think her name is Celia or something like that.

[gm66power]

the tone of voice is great its computerized intit

[THAMESLINK319]

Yeah, I think it is.

[philbloke]

@gm66power The voice is a series of recordings of real human being, but the system itself is computerised.

[WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

Good announcer- professional and clear.

I don't like tanoys that have people mumbling at the other end- not only is it frustrating its potentially dangerous.

Mr Sayer should give them practise.

[superapple407]

he does all the announcements at my local station, chippenham. prefer the posh lady that does them at bristol temple meads.

[sigreig]

Talk about charismaless... Such a pisser living in Redditch having to listen to this tit.

[FGW180101]

This guy is a legend!

[THAMESLINK319]

lol i've listened to this vid about 15 times and i still don't get bored good vid:D

[daleksec53]

wow! i love these much better than than the older ones

[Pete4000uk]

I like that system

[nicolas2food]

does birmingham new street station have digital dorris announcements and ticket barriers?

[Jordy43008]

It has ticket barriers, the announcements are as heard here - no other voice.

[nicolas2food]

could you do any more phil sayer announcements at stations?

[CLASS376BOY]

[sinchydog]
