The 185's use automated announcements, wonder how long TPX will keep using it?  |
I think the automated systems on trains are better than what they used to be. I can rember going dow to London when the 165s were 'new' and they only had a visual screen and it kept repeating all the stoips until we got to London
. But these new EMUS in use on the West Coast in the Midlands have a voice and it keeps up with the train!"!!
