I’ll PM you.Do you still have a list of all the individual announcements? There are some available from this webpage - Class 365 Announcement Pack v1.0 – Alan Thomson Simulation
You do need an account to download them though.

I imagine this was less likely to have been to tell King’s Lynn passengers the route the train was taking to King’s Lynn, and more to reassure passengers who wanted to get to Cambridge (and didn’t have a clue where the small town of King’s Lynn was - who could blame them) that the train was going there too!Used to like how the announcements on the 365s would say something like:
This train is for Kings Lynn......via Cambridge.
Like there is another way to get there!
... via Stevenage!This train is for bLondon Kings Cross
Staying on the topic of the original PIS, I thought I would share a clip of the original WAGN welcome aboard message, which I recorded just before the system was replaced. I think I might have shared this before, but some people may not have heard it.

That would probably make sense, considering the rest of the station names that are used in 'The Next Station is' announcements came from the welcome message.I think the 'bLondon' bit was actually 'dLondon King's Cross' with the standalone station name being cut from the 'and London King's Cross' bit.
No, it was Julie Berry.Classic! Was this another piece of Celia Drummond's work?

I just found this in my bookmarks:-Very evocative. Anyone got any more recordings?
I think one went something like this..The original PIS also lasted for 20-odd years. Quite remarkable really. The announcements were short, concise and informative, just what's needed. Some of the 'extra' announcements were a bit patronising like the one advising passengers how to operate the doors, advising that there is a payphone on the train available for public use etc.
I remember when they left some off lease 313s down there. Totally covered by the local graffiti gang. In other news, the security staff were recently removed from Hertford sidings!365502 & 504 moved from Hornsey EMUD to Hertford North Carriage sidings yesterday afternoon as 5B63, the units are stabled on 1 road.
Does anyone know what time these movements happened?365502 & 504 moved from Hornsey EMUD to Hertford North Carriage sidings yesterday afternoon as 5B63, the units are stabled on 1 road.

Thanks. I passed this at speed on my way into Kings Cross and thought i was seeing things as i was not expecting to see a 365.

I've just found some videos on youtube containing footage of the 365s before their air con upgrade:-There are actually a few DVDs available which show the 365s with their original fronts and also when they were with Connex.

I own them myself and can thoroughly recommend them.
I would very much like to see that leaflet if you can find it!
Is the left hand sticker “RHM” indicating a similar mod to that on the GWR 165/166s for gauge clearance purposes? I guess if this is to be another ETCS test unit it might roam further than it’s normal area…It looks like 365525 which is currently at Longsight, has now had ETCS fitted - there is a sticker on the right hand buffer relating to it.
A Not-So 'Happy' Class 365, 365525
I had arrived at Longsight depot with a defective Mk.5 set, which had travelled ECS from York. Depositing it at the South end of the depot, I had to walk past the ETD shed, which had a door open. Located inside the shed for some time, and with an uncertain future, has been former Great Northern...www.flickr.com
Did you have any luck finding the leaflet?It's here somewhere for sure though. I'll certainly scan and post it if/when it materialises.
