That was really nice, very pleased for you (you're getting more Geoff by the week) - but how can you have NEVER RIDDEN A CLASS 323 BEFORE? By the way, that 'technical glitch' - they discovered that if you say "323 232" three times, Beetlejuice appears and drives the train...obviously not a good idea.
Well done Nick. I will definitely have to travel to Manchester on a class 323 in the next month so I can hear that announcement. Hope Northern let you do a pointless to free of charge
Geoff Marshall did his own voice announcement on Thameslink. I think it’s brilliant to donate your own voice to a train operator that can use a human’s voice announcement on trains and at railway stations. Plus I do think that Northern should inherit the rest of the Class 323s from West Midlands Railway.
I once said, your voice is awesome. And it seems, I was correct. So clear to understand, and distinguishing English. I am happy for you. Might look like a small thing, but you can be proud.
Congratulations on becoming the Voice of the North. (I'm assuming Jen hasn't done this yet, so does that mean you have won another race?!) A very long time ago (1983!) I was leading a student group on the Dover to Dunkirk train ferry. Because of a strike we were diverted to Calais and there was then a problem getting our coaches added to the train. So I got to make an announcement in English over the PA at a French railway station. I was even aloud to make the jingle sound before speaking!
That's so very cool, weird to think this happened so soon after you got started and before Jen has had this opportunity (as far as I know). Also I was going to pass through Piccadilly on October 1st, guess I'll plan to transfer through Victoria lol.
I got the chance to do a radio advert for the college I went to just after I left back in 2014. Sadly I never got to hear it be played out on the radio, although I did catch the end i think of it once
my friends at school secretly recorded me singing hey joe before i even started to learn the guitar.when i heard it,it sounded like somebody with severe brain damage and serious problems.i was absolutely horrified.there also used to be a full length mirror on the corner.after joking around in class,,if we had a class in the middle block ,i would catch a glimpse of my reflection .i would be shocked and in class,i would always go quiet for about half an hour before slowly forgetting the reality of my situation.i think that that gives you some idea of what i would be like ,running the tannoy!
I've got a story about a 323. I was getting a train to lea green were I live on a northern rail 323 and I got to Wavertree Technonagy park and the train accelerated then stopped. And then is happened again. Then again. And then we moved and then we got to Roby and it happened again. Accelerate stop it happened 5 times. And then we were sat on a stopped train with the doors shut and then the announcer was saying we were at whiston and huyton even though we were still at Roby. 20 munites later, the driver says there is something wrong with the train and trying to fix it. Another 15 munites and he says it's cancelled and we need to get off the train and the next train to lea green(Manchester Airport) was 2 hours so we got the next train to Wigan north western (40 MUNITES when we were parked at lea green. It only took 2 hours to get home and it shouldve been a 30 munites trip. And your being on a 323. I WAS ON A 323 BUT FROM LIVERPOOL LINE STREET AND THE TRAIN BROKE DOWN AND IT TOOK 35 MUBITES FOR THEM TO KNOW
Since you went to Southport and left there using Merseyrail And then came back using northern. You should go to London Bridge leave using southern and then come back to using southeastern
@@ymodnar or geoff marshall to voice the new swr class 701s the same voice will be used on the dlr will the b07 stock trains running or are they are replacing them
You should be the new voice artist for all trains in the uk! All the way from “See it, Say it, Sorted” right the way through to “This train terminates here, please remember to take all of your personal belongings with you, Goodbye 🫡
This officially makes you the 'Northern Geoff Marshall'
or it makes him the Thameslink Nick Badley
Definitely the second one! 🤣
Bless Jen I can imagine her face, with Bryn laughing in the background
@@InkItOutdefinitely
Imagine Jen being cutoff by Nick as she approaches Manchester Piccadilly 👀
Imagine geoff marshall and Jen approach manchester piccadilly while hearing nick announcement
That would be funny
@@rayplaysen9936 yeah geoff and Jen making a video together and they hear nicks voice on the approach to Manchester piccadilly
@@Dani331which video?
@@JosephIsVeryQuestionable a future video please
That's awesome Nick! Now who will be the first content creator to get interrupted by your announcement lol, Seriously congrats. Well deserved!
Lol!
Jen on the Move gets interrupted by Nick on the pa. She will need an extra strong coffee when that happens!
Very cool and congratulations Nick 🎉

323232323232323 is currently at Longsight having her wheelsets changed, so Beetlejuice can have a break for a while 😂
So that was the speeding train I saw in Levenshulme yesterday
Yes! You have such a good voice for it as well, so congrats :)
As a Southerner, I love the class 323s. The traction noise is beautiful.
Seats dig into your back
Omg! This is so cool! Awesome! Congratulations!
I LITERALLY just heard this on my northern train and said to my girlfriend “I SWEAR that’s Nick” and came to find your channel !!
Well done Nick. I will definitely have to travel to Manchester on a class 323 in the next month so I can hear that announcement.
Hope Northern let you do a pointless to free of charge
Awesome. My 3yr old Nephew LOVES your videos about trains, he doesn't watch much else, his name is Austin ❤
That's amazing and pretty cool!! I'm still waiting to get a chance of doing a station/train announcement.

CrossCountry could use Nick Badley they have next to nothing
323's from WMT are coming to replace 319s
Amazing!! You have a really good announcement voice! I hope Northern use you again
That's so awesome that you've been able to record an announcement for Northern Nick. :)
You deserve this more than anyone! Legend! Still very proud that you’re also from Barnet originally haha
Was He? From Barnet? Delete all my likes please. Pip Pip.
@@grangetowncardiff6935 o.O
Nick, you didn't record an announcement involving "this train is delayed", did you? 😂😂
I once said, your voice is awesome. And it seems, I was correct. So clear to understand, and distinguishing English. I am happy for you. Might look like a small thing, but you can be proud.
Going on a Northern into Piccadilly tomorrow, will make sure I'll listen out👍
Proud of you Mr Badley! And what happened to your hair? So fluffy today. 🤣
I need a haircut 😂
@@NickBadley But I like the fluffy hair 🤣
YOU ARE FAMOUS!!!!!! AWESOME
now voice-overs for other projects

That’s awesome Nick! Congrats!
Congrats, that's so cool!
I bet that was amazing too do
I will watch for this announcement, congrats!
So now you can add Voiceover Artist to your CV. 😉
Heard it by accident on a train leaving Man Vic a month back... and heard it on a train arriving at Man Picc just on Monday!
Congratulations 🎉
Fantastic Nick!! that deserves a few thousand likes!
Superb!
that is really cool ill be using Northeern in 2 weeks time around the North West & ill look forward to hearing your voice when i travel with Northern
1:42 for those who just want the announcement
I knew you had a voice for public address systems!
that's so Dam COOL!
Gwarn matey pleased for you
Congratulations dude.
Brilliant, and a great voice for announcements!
That’s great!
This is like Geoff Marshall play his announcement on thamslink
This is awesome!
Can you come and replace the new 195/331 announcements, please? It’s very hard getting through a shift with that down your ear constantly.
I remember watching one of your streams where you ask how to become a voice announcer, maybe an employee was watching too?
Oh wow... That is so cool!
Right, I’ll try and go on a normal class 323 before the 2nd of October
That's really cool mate
cool video nick
You sound better than Peter Corley on the class 195s & 331s. Northern please bring back the old ones 😢
Id want that on a Stageocach/first bus south Yorkshire bus or the Stageocach supertram
cool!
my friends at school secretly recorded me singing hey joe before i even started to learn the guitar.when i heard it,it sounded like somebody with severe brain damage and serious problems.i was absolutely horrified.there also used to be a full length mirror on the corner.after joking around in class,,if we had a class in the middle block ,i would catch a glimpse of my reflection .i would be shocked and in class,i would always go quiet for about half an hour before slowly forgetting the reality of my situation.i think that that gives you some idea of what i would be like ,running the tannoy!
Seriously 24th September…Engineering On My Birthday!
Like you said Nick pretty cool
I heard you today but failed to realise it was you 🤣🤣
😍
Defiantly going to Manchester pic
You should’ve asked someone what they thought of the announcement/announcer
Nice
Wow mate that must be an amazing honour

Sounds way better then Peter
no way you were on my train haha
Alternative title: Nick overreacts when he hears himself
You don’t know the effort we went through to try and hear that announcement 😂
My point is still valid though@@InkItOut
Since you went to Southport and left there using Merseyrail And then came back using northern. You should go to London Bridge leave using southern and then come back to using southeastern
How is this your first time on a 323? I thought you were from Manchester & would've met up with David Frankal at his house in Heald Green.
I hope you can say Harrogate and Starbeck correctly, as Northern can't!
How the dickens did you manage that ?
What a claim to fame. Well done Nick 👍🏼
Hope you're getting something in return. Like free travel for you and your YouTubing friend

Nice video nick please can you do the voice of the new dlr train and the new piccadilly line trains
TfL will choose who to do the announcements and its most likely going to be Emma Hignett on the DLR and Elinor Hamilton on the New Tube for London.

pretty poger
Try to get a better quality one 😊 maybe you might have some life as a voiceover artist yet 😮 You might be good at kids storytelling too…
PLEASE PLAN AHEAD
Fame… have you had to sign a contract with Northern for exclusive rights to your voice? At least you sound much better than that ‘woman’!
‘I voice’
what
i thunk you mean ‘Voiced’
Wooo.
