7:31 That one is very famous! It's heard in Embankment, Bank and Piccadilly Circus Tube stations and the voice is not Peter Lodge's, but Oswald Lawrence's, which is used since 1969. The nowadays announcing formula is "[name of the line] (only in interchange stations) - The train now approaching is to [destination]. Please stand back from the PEDs (Platform Edge Doors)". [later, when train is at the station] "Mind the gap please." There's another one also informing to be aware of the gap, saying: "For all our customers using the [name of line], whilst waiting for the next train and for your safety, please stand behind the yellow line, please keep all your personal belongings at all times and please mind the gap when boarding the next train".
Presumably and sadly, we will never find out for sure whether this is Peter Lodge or Oswald Lawrence as the phrase was recorded more than 50 years ago. Here is an overwiew with a possible explanation that has made me believe it is more likely Peter Lodge's voice: www.squarewheels.org.uk/rly/LUgenPhots/#gap
Sehr schöner Mix:) bin gerade in Frankreich und höre jeden Tag Simone Hérault. Eine sehr angenehme Stimme, dagegen ist der grausige Graul immer wieder erneut ein ordentliches Gräuel...
That one from Bolesławiec is from CSDIP (an acronym standing for "Centralny System Dynamicznej Informacji Pasażerskiej", meaning "Central Dynamic Passenger Information System") Sat-System/PIXEL TTS generator. It's replacing another TTS voice (Ewa by IVONA) in PKP's stations. There's a sample of announcements using the same generator (using polish, german and english (for me, that one is simmilar to Julie Berry) languages, as it took place, when Lower Silesian Railways regional train to (and from) Goerlitz terminated and departed from this station at 9.46 AM) from Jelenia Góra: ua-cam.com/video/cibrzGC45F0/v-deo.html. I think, it's better than IVONA's Ewa.
