I'm a little surprised at how low tech the recordings are - in a noisy office with a headset. I would have thought they'd at least do it in a quiet room. Then again, it's not like you're going to be listening critically.

By rights, this should be the most boring video on KZread. Man gets train to Swindon. Visits an office and records a short announcement at a desk. He then visits Slough where he sits in an empty waiting room and then on a platform, to listen to the announcement. Except it's Geoff Marshall, which is why the like to dislike ratio is 116:1. How do you make this so entertaining?

It's amazing that the man talking in the background and the cough at the end didn't make it onto the recording.

Your videos make me feel happy! Thank you Geoff!!!

That smile when you first heard your voice was brilliant! I managed to catch your Thameslink one a while back, now I've got a new one to find!

Love your videos Geoff! Idk why but even i got excited when i heard your voice over the PA! Amazing job

When I get my train on the way back home for Christmas from London to Bath I'll be listening out for you Geoff!! Can't wait

I heard you on the announcement at my local station on Thursday whilst waiting for my train to work, was a superb announcement and I hope GWR let you do more of them!

This is entertaining to watch. Merry Christmas!

Thought I heard a familiar voice waiting for the school train! Great vid and great announcement. Seems like you have a knack for this kind of thing.

That’s bloody amazing Geoff! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas and a happy new year

Geoff Marshall. Rail Expert. According to the graphics on BBC London this evening. You were on the final Chiltern service from Paddington to Ruislip and High Wycombe. I've done that return trip myself. A total of five people on board, two of them were staff, including the driver.

Living in Swindon and using GWR quite a bit, I look forward to your dulcet tones. Interesting to see the people behind those announcements I hear all the time.

I’m so happy! That’s amazing Geoff, congratulations 🎊

Thank you for showing me the CartoMetroLondon map. This map fascinates me, as it actually shows the correct path for the Piccadilly line and I can follow it accurately like when I came to London in 1993 and got off at Russell Square, and my hotel was nearby. For some reason, maps fascinate me and the tube was like one big map I could easily get around when I was there. Thank you again Geoff.

The bin bags video you made is still one of my all-time favourites. Who knew bin bags could be so interesting?

That's such an amazing experience, so happy for you!

cant believe im watching this at 9 in the morning in aus you are such a nerd but so watchable merry xmas from australia

Awww such fond memories ... I met my wife - kind of - in Slough. We were on a GWR (or then First Great Western) train from Paddington to Reading and the train had an emergency stop at Slough (we do not know why), with alarms sounding in the train. She sat next to me throughout the trip but we didn't speak or look at each other. But when the train stopped so abruptly with the smell of asbestos from the brakes and all I turned to her and said "well this can't be good, can it?" ... best pickup line ever ;-)

Congratulations, Geoff. Such an honor! Merry Christmas!

Nice one Geoff! I am picking my daughter up from Tiverton Parkway station on the 24th, i will make sure i am at the station a bit early so i catch your announcement! Merry Christmas to you and Viki.

This is so cool! Congrats Geoff!

So cool! Merry Christmas!

This should officially be declared as a quite amazingly good clip.

Now we just need you on Southern and their stations!

Geoff I love how you are helping the train network! Easily my favourite youtuber.

Making the W in GWR taller in the captions was a nice touch.

Your face while it was playing at the end was priceless.

Been keeping an ear out and finally got to hear you today at 17:55 at Wokingham :)

Brilliant stuff Geoff Well done 👌🏻

I like that bit tsch-tsch-tsch as the gantries go by and the cut-cut-cut. that's good.. thanks. Oh and G-W-Aha!

He's got SUCH A GOOD announcement voice :)

I really like you videos. So informative. Thank you

So one of my favourite youtubers is now the voice of my favorite railway operator! Nerdgasm

I'm so happy for You Geoff. 👏

I knew it was you on the announcement at hesrhrow... I had to listen to it loads to figure it out. Man your a lucky guy

This was a fun video to watch. You appeared to enjoy doing this one.

Your face everytime you heard your own announcement is such an aww! ;D

The smile on his face when he hears himself is just magic!

*distracted* Oh, NSE logo! :) Your face when the announcement is made! Hahaha. Nice one.

Things to do before Christmas: visit a GWR owned Station at aether 03 or 33 minutes past the hour. Great video as always Geoff.

The voice of Christmas yet to come.

Heard this announcement when I was waiting for my hour late train home from school. Classic GWR

Brilliant !

I'm here to hear the voice of GWR Christmas past.

OMG this is Amazing woohoo 🎉 ❤️ Love from London, England 🇬🇧 ❤️

its awesome you get to do these things!

Well done Geoff! The voice of Christmas 😁

I'd love to hear on the "See it. Say it, Sorted" Announcement. At least at one station at some times a day would be brilliant 😄

This is wholesome content

So looking forward to hearing you in Penzance.

I really can't believe that they record these with those guys LOUDLY chatting in the background... Shocking.

Excellent video as always. Wonderful if your voice is at Coombe Junction Halt. 😉 Wonder if the help point is stall saying "please wait"

Carto metro may have the best collection of track maps, mostly French trams but also London underground+some rail lines and NY subway map. Kudos to the guy who does this all by himself !

Fingers crossed I'll hear you when I head home from Uni later this month

Awesome 😀 love the episode, keep it up

Merry Christmas, everyone 🎅

Another great vid

He's so excited 😆 Bless him

I was on the Thameslink service up to Peterborough a few weeks ago and I'd completely forgotten you were doing the announcements. I was really confused when I heard a familiar voice over the PA!
