Great video of Oxford. Always a lot going on there. Can’t help but think 5 coaches are usually not enough for the Paddington trains, and GWR have gone completely overkill with the tactile paving announcements! Good catch with Rodger’s ‘Wilmslow’ too!
Thanks! Yes they were very busy. And for sure, they should at least get rid of the announcement on platforms which do have tactile paving. And It would be helpful if Oxford had the usual GWR announcement pattern rather than just one announcement per train too
I think 5 coaches is sufficiant because its only 3 stops to London plus its an express serivce from London as no Class 387s can run to Oxford due to lack of overhead electric wires.
I've heard the usual set up a couple of times on Platform 4 at Oxford - the problem seems to be the trains usually trigger the 3rd (usual) announcement before the first (pre-3 minute) one and the short one play - maybe they could solve this by making the 1st pre-announcement earlier e.g. 6 mins before

@@jamiehooper5328at Worcester, they send 5 carriage trains down from wales to london.
Can you do Hatfield please
Great video Tom. Maybe CrossCountry to Manchester doesn't go via Stoke-On-Trent I guess it pass Crewe and gets to Wilmslow
Thanks! And they were diverted because of engineering works
@@tomsrailannouncements Yes that's way and Avanti West Coast (mostly to Manchester via Stoke-On-Trent) also got diverted too
You should do Chelmsford announcements.
good vid!
Thank you!
Why does Rodger sound scared when he is talking?
