ScotRail announcements .mp3

[ZenGiraffe]

I'm obsessed with this. Someone FoI'ed the announcements used on ScotRail trains and the full MP3 has been published online.


The lesser used ones come around the 56 minute mark. It's fascinating in its own way.

This is probably the most niche post I'll make on the Mopsies but I'm sure one of you at least will appreciate it.

I love this:

This is honestly amazing and I cannot recommend it enough for doing boring work. I am drafting emails this morning and it has been breezing by.

Also my new favourite one is the very slightly panicked "ask the train conductor to arrange for the train to come to a stop"

I like the mix of numbers, names and scary alerts.

"This train is not for public use" is one i just randomly skipped towards.

I've just popped Children by Robert Miles in the background and it works a treat.

This is one of those occasions where I'm glad the internet moves fast. By the time anyone can get to using these, they'll already been old news and stale buns.

Didn't stop me downloading the file, of course.

Yeah, you could chop it up into some kind of ersatz Numbers Station, put it out on shortwave.
