Accrington is one of 34 stations on operator Northern’s rail network to have their announcements re-recorded with local accents
Users of an East Lancashire railway station will soon hear train announcements in their the town’s distinctive twang.
The train operator received 47 formal requests to re-record announcements, with multiple submissions for Aspatria in Cumbria , Kirkham and Wesham in Lancashire , Ilkeston in Derbyshire and Sowerby Bridge in West Yorkshire .The new announcements were masterminded by Northern employees Pete Corley and Laura Palmer. The new recordings, which will now be rolled-out across Northern’s fleet of 345 trains were required following an upgrade to on-board software.
Debate ensued around loud Es, missing S’ and silent ‘ands’ within station names and, as promised, they went back to the studio.
