    I went to college with Charlie. He let me wear his ubiquitous Irish sweater when I was cold and let me have his potato chips as long as I left the crumbs for him. It's been almost 50 years and we're still friends. After all, I taught him some of all he knows!!! Thanks, Charlie!

    His "Stand clear of the closing doors please" is so professional and perfect. My grandmother was an acting school diction teacher so I have an appreciation of the skill.

      I agree and some of Charlie's announcements are stuck to my head like This is 5th avenue (Catherine Cowdery) Transfer is available to the B D F & M trains (Charlie Pellett) and also Ladies and Gentlemen we are momentarily by the train dispatcher due to high train ahead please be patient these were the Charlie Pellett announcements that I knew since I rode on R142A (R188 convert) 7311 last January 20th

    The way how NYC subway conductors play the announcement over the train's speakers is by pressing this red button that says "Door Warning", and when the conductor presses it, the announcement comes out over the train's speakers.

    Since 2018, Velina Mitchell has replaced Charlie Pellet as the new voice for doing PSAs, some transfers, and announcing which stations are ADA-accessible. Pellet remains for his familiar doors closing announcement, and for when a train arrives at the last stop.
