The voice of QR

You hear him everyday - telling you when your train is coming and asking you to "please stand behind the yellow line".

Do you ever think about the man behind the voice at your train station?

I do!!  There's one who sounds like a "funny little guy" - perhaps a bit of a "nerd".  (I can say that because I'm one.)  His announcements are slow and precise.  Then there's the guy who doesn't hit the button soon enough... "ff train arriving at platform 6 stopping all stations to Shorncliffe."

It was distinct voices such as these that lead to me working out that the announcements for Roma St, Central and Fortitude Valley were made from the same place - which was later confirmed at a CRG meeting.
