Is it just me, or the particular tram I use or does anyone else have trouble hearing what the next tram stop is over the tram intercom?

I don't think it's just you - the voice over the intercom is usually rather muffled.

That's why it's always better to look at the green visual readouts suspended from the ceiling.

Unfortuantely, not always accurate, I got off at the university, the tram said next stop city hall.

It is usually clear to me as long as it is the pre-recorded one.

Mind you, I don't get the tram that often, as I don't live on the route. I have to use buses, which don't have announcements or scrolly messages!

"The next stop by request is Meadowhall South" :D That woman is bloody annoying.

nope - the Halfway/Maling Bridge man is much more annyoing and damn scarier.

I feel i must leap to her defence!

When youre coming back through town and she says "Passengers for Halfway should change here and cross to the opposite platform" she sounds so excited! :blush: :roll:

It makes it sound illicit and thrilling to change trams, and anyone who can do that should be applauded :clap:

The voices are employees of Supertram, they held a raffle/draw to see who would get the jobs.

It has been automated so the drivers dont have to make the announcements as quite a few either didnt or were so far from the microphone that they couldnt be heard.

One of them can't say "Attercliffe", it sounds like "affercruf"
