Northern Stations with Phil Sayer

[polskism]

Does anyone know what Northern operated stations used Phil Sayer previously, before being replaced? Thanks

Outstations on the Hall ith Wood to Clitheroe line, stations from Carnforth towards Barrow. The Leeds Triangle. Stations to Buxton beyond Hazel Grove. Hope Valley line stations. Stations from Huddersfield to Sheffield via Penistone including Huddersfield it's self. Loads!

Meadowhall did as well.

I thought it was all of them, to be honest. He didn't last all that long though before being replaced. https://web.archive.org/web/2011060...releases/archive/09/090429customerinformation

Were the annoucements referring to the "Metro Train service to Leeds" and similar Phil Sayer's? I've got an idea they got dropped because the franchise holder didn't like PTE sponsored services being announced in a way making it sound like the PTE ran the service.

There weren't that many Northern stations on the west side with automated annoucements back then. Altrincham used to be the only station between Stockport and Chester with announcements and they were made manually by the man in the office.

From memory, we stopped saying "MetroTrain" long before Phil (I say "we", I mean the TOC). Probably when that franchise started in 2004.

I have this linked to from my personal website, as I video interviewed him after this photocall as a test for something we were trying to do on the Metro website: https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co...ches-33-million-passenger-information-system/
