This announcer is called Celia in the railway world and announces at all Tyne Valley stations and majority of stations in south west England.
Only professional automated voice is called Anne, she announces at all major London stations ( Kings Cross etc ) and various other stations managed by network rail ( Leeds , Manchester Piccadly etc )

(17 Nov 2015, 5:24 pm)Dan Unsure how noteworthy this is as I haven't been to Sunderland station for quite some time...
The male who announces train departures at Sunderland station has been replaced by a new female, more robotic voice.
More work has been done to include other stations served, other than simply stating that the train goes to South Hylton or Airport.
Not sure if this would be more appropriate in another thread or not - the Northern Rail announcements have been updated too (anyone know where Prood hoe is?)

It'll be interesting to see this report, but it doesn't look good for Metro...

(18 Nov 2015, 10:22 am)Michael Oh dear.... it doesn't does it!I'd argue that breaching the contract, and then 'deliberately misleading' the customer (Nexus) are grounds for termination. I can't see it happening though.
I would imagine they'll only fined though?

Of course, we need too know if this finding is even true but there could also be other factors behind why less trains(most likely it just be peak trains that would be missing) are being run such as shortage of stock.
Its no secret DBTW has been failing in the maintenance side of things so basically one problem they cause leads to another. The fact 4 units are away at a time for refurbishment and plus units which are out of service either due to faults or maintenance.

This is off 1 hour ago:
There are no trains running between St James and Monument in both directions until further notice. This is due to essential maintenance. We are currently operating a bus replacement service, the number 900, calling at or near to all stations between St James and Monument. We will update you once we have more information.

(19 Nov 2015, 7:47 am)DanPicken Not yet but its good they can get a bus quick enough for 1 stop but took 3 hours for the train which managed to wreck the points.
