Those first two lifts have ridiculously long announcements - I wonder how these are obtained? I know Schindler used to use that voice for modernisations, so presumably they had to specifically record those. I've also heard the generic voices that Lester Controls use and other voices have custom announcements before too (eg. Be*leyheath Shopping Centre, Lewish*m Shopping Centre), not sure how they obtain those. That last lift was interesting, did it still have the original leveling or has it had a VF mod? It has the same voice logic as the lifts at Maidstone, where the "Doors Closing" voice plays slightly after the doors start closing, it it pronounces "floor" slightly differently to the ordinary one which says "please mind the doors".
Mattyeah101 Lifts do sometimes have custom announcements, but it is rare for the custom announcements to use an actual lift voice. They had to go to all of the effort to get the original person to do more recordings. The voice in the first 2 lifts is one of the original lift voices from the early 90s. It was used in Mitsubishi / Fujitec lifts in the 80s and also sometimes Schindler. Into the late 90s this voice was used on some unusual designs of platform lift. It is very odd that they have used this voice on a fairly recent mod and that they seem to have got the original person to do more recordings. Notice how the doors opening and doors closing recordings sound very low quality (these are the original recordings from years ago), and the custom floor recordings sound much better quality. Also the Otis 2000 lifts at Croydon Centrale have custom recordings using the 90s early 2000s Kone Otis voice. The last lift has not been modded. It still has its original leveling. The voice is wired into the original logic and plays announcements when certain circuits are used.
I been on a lift similar to the first 2 lifts at an airport bigger than Heathrow it was like Lower Level, Baggage Claim and ground transportation, going down
looks like evil owl pretty much sweeped through this place the only one he has left to replace is the last remaining platt schindler one so this may have been your last chance to see it
The car park lifts in my local shopping centre used to have custom older drucegrove voice messages for shopping level 1 shopping level 3. They've now been modernised by Jackson and they no longer have these and the voice is now the horrid Lester voice.
I like the voice on the first 2 lifts, ladies are usually very good when it comes to accessibility.
Not what you'd find on Angel Island eh, Knuckles?
***** Your right, that's what's been missing from Angel Island all this time!
Knuckles the Echidna Well I went to Angel Island in San Francisco, and it's not floating anymore because I stole the Master Emerald

PLATT SCHINDLER-ORIGINAL SCHINDLER
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Very long comment
Great custom announcements. I love how the staff lift has a really old dial phone.
I live in Sutton with my mum and I have been in that lift that goes from the civic centre entrance up to the libary
in that original platt-schindler, was the voice part of it or was that added to it a bit after?
I been on a lift similar to the first 2 lifts at an airport bigger than Heathrow it was like Lower Level, Baggage Claim and ground transportation, going down
My first time using a elevator was a uplifting experience, The second time it let me down
Use the stairs 😐
@@vaguefilmsdont think you understood the joke

7:48 when you switched from the map to filming mode the little white stick man was still visable
2:33 ricieselevators :D
Next time you're at heathrow, could you film a Pakistan International Airlines takeoff during the lift tour?

Good job on 30k subs
IT'S LIFT TOUR TIME
7:48 is an old Platt schindler but has a crappy generic voice
Has there ever been a basement that Beno was in thats not spooky? Hmmmm..
My last name is Sutton!!
Why didn’t you go to lower ground?
7:47 why is it a good lift if it has the crappy lester voice on the plat schindler?
It's just a voice. As far as I know everything else mechanically is original.
The basement is not that grotty
what is the ladies toilet for?!
Jennie Berta ...
Damn those messages are long on the first 2 lifts
one meter apart is too close. G and GA should be the same floor.
On lift 2 was the sound modernised like ,including fiction books, and is it hidrolic
Oh yes derp
SAXA 9 The only hydraulic is the Stannah.
Oh beno check my video comment and like also chaves Trafalgar senter or tesco?
Have any chaves broke in to the Trafalgar senter or Tesco ubarn
SAXA 9 I haven't been there recently. It looked very secure about 2 weeks ago.
1st elevator's voices are like the female version of Mater Private Hospital's voices.
Hope modernised by real good lifts
Never used elevator Keys Unauthurouzed
you can by putting it back the way it was before.
Always use lift keys unauthorised
I love your videos but man you talk so fast
And the service lift is modnized with shitty on generic very disapointing
