Announcements on new Piccadilly line trains
Dear Transport for London,
Who will you use as the announcer on your new Piccadilly line trains? Because the current 1973 Stock trains have Julie Berry (and Adrian Hieatt for "see it say it sorted" message) and it would be great if you also used Julie Berry on the new trains when they eventually enter service on the Piccadilly line.
Yours faithfully,
Loki Avivson

Dear Loki Avivson
Our ref: FOI-2033-2324/GH
Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 11
September 2023 asking for information about the announcements on new
Piccadilly line trains.
Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 and our information access policy. I can confirm that
we do hold the information you require.
Digital voice announcements on the new ‘24 Tube Stock’ fleet for the
Piccadilly line will use an artificial/synthetic voice called ‘Elloise’,
we will not be using any existing announcements from Julie Berry or Adrian
Hieatt.
If this is not the information you are looking for, please do not hesitate
to contact me.
If you are not satisfied with this response please see the attached
information sheet for details of your right to appeal.
Yours sincerely

RIP Julie Berry on London Underground. 2006 - 202?. An understandable decision if Tfl want to cut costs...
