I am not even joking, but I just cried here 2:31 . I was in London studying english about a year ago, just a silly little tourist girl, enjoying a silly little british summer, whatching silly little operas, and musicals, and wimbledon tennis games. I distinctly remember going to Earlsfield station to catch a train to my school, in Wimbledon, Gail’s cinnamon bun in hand, doing my makeup on the way there because I always overslept. Then I would get into the train and every single day, there she would be. And every single day I would speak along with her: “see it, say it, sorted”. Idk, that part is just stuck with me to this day, and hearing these announcements just makes me remember all the great moments that I had in London. Thanks for this video❤️
Excellent video, onboard Celia always sounds very charismatic. She also had some generic stuff recorded - I’ve heard her say “onboard staff will be shortly carrying out a full ticket check on this train, please have your tickets ready!” in Old Celia voice but didn’t manage to record it. I hope SWR keep her on the trains for the foreseeable.
Thanks! Oh absolutely, out of all the announcers on the trains Celia is my favourite closely followed by Julie Berry (who hopefully will replace Acapela Rachel on the 707s when Southeastern get them)
@@Parallel395 I’ve heard the ‘There is a fault with the door system..’ announcement a few times. It sometimes happens on class 450’s when an unscheduled stop is made.
Elinor Hamilton has recorded a new DVA being rolled out across SWR trains 😕 might be good to record more Celia content if you hear it, before her voice is gone forever!
Celia had already recorded all the onboard announcements in her New Celia voice and there are no new stations at the minute on the SWR network so its ok for the time being
This is some sad news for all of you, Celia will not record any more announcements because she died in January 2021. I think it was from cancer and not Covid.
when 444s and 450s (the trains i use the most) or celias voice eventually and inevitability get discontinued i will be so sad :( sounds weird but this simple voice and those trains have been present throughout my life and it'll be weird on a normal train without them!!
i find it a bit amusing that SWR’s platform announcements makes their voice artists speak really slow, yet the onboard SWR trains speaks really fast lol
i love these announcements because of how she sounds in such a rush
Right! I loved them for the same reason.

i call it 'See it, say it, sod it'

There is no place for Acapela Rachel onboard trains! I like Celia, Fletcher, Julie and Ruth for on train announcements.
I think 701s will have new Celia on them.
@@Parallel395 my favourites are
New Celia for SWR
Neil for TPE and Hull Trains
Julie Berry for GA, Thameslink, Great Northern etc.
@@Parallel395 I’ve heard the ‘There is a fault with the door system..’ announcement a few times. It sometimes happens on class 450’s when an unscheduled stop is made.
Thanks for this, I've set this for my alarm clock 😍
Great choice!!!
I’ve never heard them say “This train is at its final stop”
Always do on 444/450s when coming into waterloo
I've been on many 444s and 450s into Waterloo mate
I also love how every Alstom unit seems to have the inflections uploaded the wrong way 🤣
I hope when they go on the PDL it's fixed 😭
@@elibennett.x that aged well, afaik the 458/4s arent going to portsmouth anymore!
Nice onboard announcements.
Thanks!
thanks for my new alarm.
nice vid as always :)
Thank you!
@@tomsrailannouncements no problem :)
RIP Celia

Nice announcements. I believe it will be New Celia on the class 701’s.
Anyone but Acapela Rachel!
Agreed. She is by far the worst.
I doubt it unfortunately since Celia is no longer with us.
Celia had already recorded all the onboard announcements in her New Celia voice and there are no new stations at the minute on the SWR network so its ok for the time being
@@matthighley1461 All the announcements have been recorded since they were originally planned for December 2019.
This is some sad news for all of you, Celia will not record any more announcements because she died in January 2021. I think it was from cancer and not Covid.
Yes I talked about it at the time

Can you do Bruton in Berkshire?
458 Celia is the best
i find it a bit amusing that SWR’s platform announcements makes their voice artists speak really slow, yet the onboard SWR trains speaks really fast lol
My thoughts exactly!
Would have been better to slow the announcements down a bit.
They could have kept Celia.
@@SSS92934 would be useless by now
Have you done Northern?
You beat me to it!
Quite a few missing (such as to Bournemouth, Weymouth, etc) but I appreciate your efforts!
The SWR network is huge I can't get every single possible announcement
Most SWR services terminate at Poole rather than Bournemouth as they should...
@Sleeper Train Fan why did XC stop going to Poole? They got a grudge against the place?
@Sleeper Train Fan can't see why tho. Poole is a very big place.
Southern onboard announcements next?
*if only the wooOOOooo guy didn't get fired 😂*
Could you do Northern onboard announcements please?
czcams.com/video/3kHE_KiVkvg/video.html you can see them here :-)
Celia
I HAVENT BEEN ON SWR IN AGES ARGH
U missed my main place chandlers ford
so fast.
Isn't that Northern Line announcement person
Yes
Every single station that is just northern, except the new ones: *celia*
Nice recording, not a fan of the 707 announcements, hopefully Celia will be on the 701s!
Thanks and absolutely!
@@tomsrailannouncements The 701 has been to my station for testing and she is intact on the 701 as New Celia
Infact*
@@elibennett.x lovely!!!
what happened to the person that got hit between surbiton and the other place
1:10
If only this onboard announcement was used on Greater Anglia trains.
Poor people who have to hear the tts in the morning
Ikr!!!
I like both, but Rachel is better
oh god the TTS on the 707 trains sounds horrible, is that the same TTS that some stations uses (I think her name is Rachel something)?
Sadly yes
@@tomsrailannouncements oh dear, what was SWR thinking? lmao
@@wisehat_yt I went on a 707 today and I also wasn't a fan of it
Her name is Acapela Rachel
Acapela Rachel is better than Celia. This comment was made by the Acapela Rachel gang.
Why couldn't they just get Julie Berry on the 707s? This sounds so cheap for british railways man...
They will be soon when all 707s go to Southeastern.
Cecilia’s voice is wonderful
