No, it's played manually by the guard. There's one which is something like "Can all passengers please have tickets and railcards..." and the more pleasant "To those passengers just joining the train, welcome aboard. Please can you have tickets..." that you mention. There's one about checking you...

https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:G32961/2022-04-12/detailed#allox_id=0 There's this weekday only York to Selby short service... running via the ECML so meeting the criteria. There's a 2345 returning to York too

Express services between Doncaster and Meadowhall can be routed either way - via Swinton or via Thrybergh - but they must follow their booked route, or question an unexpected routing. Although the driver may sign both routes, the conductor might not.

Northern Guards - Hull Traction: 150, 153, 155, 158, 170 Hull - Scarborough Hull - York (via ECML and via Sherburn) Hull - Leeds Leeds - York (via Micklefield) Hull - Doncaster (via Goole and via Selby/ECML) Doncaster - Sheffield (express via Thrybergh and via Swinton) Doncaster - Sheffield...

No, not regardless, but I will if I know it's not announcing before we stop on the platform, or not functioning properly in any other way. Too many think that once TrainFX is set, that's it... it must be working, so it's not my job to announce anything.

Absolutely no chance... certainly not for the 15th December change. Only Hull crews sign between Hull and Scarborough, and nobody based at Hull signs 195s

In theory, Bridlington-Sheffield should always run with a 170, but it's by no means guaranteed. Come December, this will become Scarborough-Sheffield, and the Bridlington-York service will likely see 155/158s. There's a 2030 from Hull to Leeds service which is also due a 170.

East Yorkshire service 66 requires 6 vehicles - 2 branded Volvo Gemini deckers and 4 branded E400 saloons. The 2 decker workings are timed to collect the many, many school kids from Sirius Academy morning and afternoon
