    that girl who makes the announcements. Her voice is so annoying, i cringe every time she makes an announcement. And wtf is with the way she pronounces "platform" she says it like "pllllllllllatform". Seriously, its really annoying. :rolleyes:

    You know her? You must agree though, the way she announces platform is seriously annoying.

    yes it is clear and audible, but the way she pronounces that just irritates me. Ive heard a lot of other passengers comment on it too.

    Ah I know the one you mean and have to say the "Dub accent" IS annoying alright (not just this girl, but a lot of her colleagues in CIE too) but at least you can hear her.

    I hate when you're on a train/DART and you cant hear what they're saying because of crappy speaker/lots of background engine noise/muffled voice etc

    You hear the message rather than drowning it out with all the other city sounds? Yeah? Her job is done.

    Has anyone ever made her do a prank announcement?

    "Mr. Oliver Clotheshoff to the informtion desk please" etc you got the gist.

    I heard an announcer when I was in Connolly on Sunday. Other than "Portadow-in", I didn't have any problems.
