I actually really like Anne's announcements. I hope she makes it to places such as Cardiff etc. Although I love the way she pronounced Pencoed, a town just east of Bridgend. It's pronounced 'Pen-coyd', but she pronounces it as 'Pen-co-ED' :lol:

But yet she pronounces Llanelli perfectly, which is quite hard to say with the two 'Ll's'

I'm really not a fan of Roger though, unfortunately. I'm sure he's a very nice chap, and his accent is very clear, but he pronounces certain places in the most awful way! At Bristol Parkway, for example, he pronounces Didcot Parkway as 'Did-CUT Parkway', he pronounces Cheltenham with a VERY strong emphasis on the TEN (so it's 'Chel-TEN-ham'), and as for Weston-super-Mare, that's something else! He says SUPER in a much higher tone, which I'm not a fan of!

I do like Anne though! ROLL ON ANNE!

Also, on a slightly different note, who is the lady who does the announcements on the 185s? I really like her too!
