“and no, this is not where the beer was made”
Little did we know what would happen only two months later.

[@kristianl7797]

@@stevengarcia8259The announcements on the 7 train were voiced by awkwafina in January 2020 and at 103 st, she says “and no, this is not where the beer was made” as a reference to the beer brand Corona, and 2 months later, the “Corona”virus made everything close.

[@mike.russo14]

Wow, Kathleen looks nothing like I had imagined. It’s great to see these faces matched to the voices we all know.

[@Ihonestlydek]

Jessica 6 train announcements back in 2000-2003 were clean asf

[@octaviantransit]

This is so nostalgic and relaxing

[@Dylan-kz7ht]

Hello

[@AxelYvnNewYork2K10]

Oh my God you turn into another 7 local just like me

[@trainluvr]

I have female english "Stand Clear of the moving platforms as trains enter and leave this station, thank you" and male spanish, from late 70s recorded in 1983. It will be up soon on my channel, probably at the end of my Brightline video I'm working on. Thank you for this amazing video.

[@skydiamond8705]

Really

[@ItsDuckToYou]

Can u show a link to it

[@RailfannerJake]

The first voice is mentioned in the video

[@holzman00]

Jessica is my favorite. I love her commanding tone. It sounds so firm and powerful. I also miss Charlie Pellet's service advisories, but Velina does a good job too.

[@sebastienroland349]

Anytime, I take the 4 or 5 Trains 🚊🚊, Jessica sounds exactly just like Dianne on the 2 🚇 when saying (The Next Stop Is or This Is).

[@Sylveonkpopnyct]

that's cuz it's Dianne

[@sebastienroland349]

@@Sylveonkpopnyct I like the original Jessica Voice on the 4 and 5 better.

[@realAutoman]

1:03 ayeee DJ Hammers 😳

[@HesJustSteven]

It’s the use of the phrase “R service” from
Andy Byford for me. I miss him. Btw, that photo of Catherine is actually Caroline Hyde of Bloomberg radio

[@233CFH]

I only saw Jessica Ettinger, Charlie Pellet, and Velina Mitchell. I never knew how anyone else looked. Great video.

[@michaelmarino7391]

I always assumed Rosie Perez was the voice for "Wear a mask, it's up to us New York." Wasn't 100% sure. Glad to be confirmed!

[@jasonbxny0619]

Carolyn Hopkins is also the voice that we hear in airports except SeaTac Airport

[@k.h.4698]

Interesting, Carolyn’s voice is the only one I could NOT hear clearly on this video, which explains why I miss a lot of flights, I suppose.

[@skydiamond8705]

@@k.h.4698 her her voices are everywhere like she’s played in hospitals she plays in airports she plays in factories on computers that’s how famous her voice is

[@jayson4714]

The fact they use the Dianne Thompson's voice for saying "The Next Stop Is...." for the 4 and 5 train is actually kinda ridiculous

[@joebankz6478]

Yo same I don’t understand why they did that lol

[@sebastienroland349]

Even worse, the 2, 4, and 5 sound like Annie on the 7 Trains 🚂 when reaching the both 42nd Street Stations Time Square and Grand Central.

[@imnotafurry7]

ikr

[@Jermaine-zq3ei]

Yeah even the 6 train when it’s using r142a’s

[@RXSVN_2]

2:10 Caroline Hopkins .That's the same one that says:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the next Manhattan bound L train is now arriving." and
"This is a Coney Island bound N train, the next stop is Gravesend 86th Street"
.... I watched another video on RUclips and it turns out their voice is world famous and (as of 11 years ago) they can also be heard at 250 locations around the world including airports, hospitals and on weather advisories.

[@Sylveonkpopnyct]

uhm wrong, all N train announcements are done by Kathleen and Catherine.

[@Sylveonkpopnyct]

Caroline says "Hello passengers, the next Brooklyn bound A train is now arriving, the next Mannhattan bound L train is now arriving" etc.

[@RXSVN_2]

@@Sylveonkpopnyct My bad. I could have sworn that all three of them did a collaboration on the mixtape that I bought.

[@leftypo5920]

When the L Train arrives at 1st Avenue
Catherine Chowdery: "This is 1st Avenue". Melina Mitchell: "Transfer is available to the M14 and M15 select bus services. This is an accessible station the Elevator is at the front of the platform

[@MoskitoGirl]

Duggee: a woof

[@SpartanFret]

The voice of the four five and six lines this is a Bronx bound bound 5 express train, this is a Brooklyn bound 4 Express train and this is a Brooklyn Bridge City Hall bound 6 locL train. She is my favorite

[@GamingwithJay0001]

Imagine Jessica Ettinger Gottesman voice on the 7... would sound so good

[@supermarionathan1426]

Lots of Lexington Ave Lines railfans would fly down to the Flushing Line since now they have Diane’s voice for “the next stop is” announcement lol!

[@leftypo5920]

When the M and F Trains are at 47th 50th Street Rockefeller Center
Catherine Chowdery: "This is a Brooklyn Bound (M) Local Train The Next Stop Is 42nd Street Bryant Park". Charlie Pellet: "Stand Clear Of The Closing Doors Please".
Kathleen Campion: "This is a Queens Bound (F) Local Train The Next Stop Is 57th Street". Charlie Pellet: "Stand Clear Of The Closing Doors Please".

That's amazing i was on the R 42 farewell in February 2020 trip not knowing who DJ HAMMERS was! Thought it was a regular transit conductor on that A Train. 🤣. All I have to say: " STAND CLEAR OF THE CLOSING DOORS PLEASE". P.S. I knew that is ROSIE PEREZ the whole time of her voice on the train! 🤣 Cool.😎 & good video👏👏👏

[@pjay9875]

I think Jessica has the best announcements

[@sebastienroland349]

She used to until the fact that Dianne messed up her announcements on the 4 and 5 Trains 🚊🚊.

[@pjay9875]

@@sebastienroland349 they need to fix that cus it’s annoying they really took off most of her announcements

Well done and speaking of Bernie Waghenblast he's also on AirTrains EWR & JFK.

[@Sylveonkpopnyct]

Not anymore

[@rahmel2009]

It’s now a Text To Speech voice

[@averyrizzolo9082]

It's the "James" voice.

[@imaginox9]

He's also on PATH trains saying Stand clear of the closing doors

[@EpicThe112]

@@imaginox9 Corrrect but for the Subway it's Charlie Pellett. Since we both play Train Sim world one can compare these Subway voices to what TSW German routes have as the announcer Ingo Ruff. If the MTA Decides to Copy Ingo Ruff DB BR442 423 Dostos then it's 4 train to Woodlawn Next Stop 125th street same way as an Ingo Ruff RE50 Nach Dresden Hbf Nachste Station Coswig Riesa Dresden.

[@02skinnygar]

I miss Andy Byford a lot

[@kitsunefaye1661]

Same. We need Daddy Byford back. 😩

[@samuelitooooo]

Only thing missing is the announcements on buses. Like the woman who said "please exit through the rear door" before the text-to-speech announcements and displays came, and others like the guy who said "Please, no littering, smoking, spitting, or radio playing on the bus"
This video made me happy though

[@DavesLife100]

Van Ritshie is my favorite voice announcer of the LIRR AND MTA. Good times riding the train into the city from Little Neck and Katonah.
