What i like is that on busy stations they use both. One does london bound and one country bound. Nice for regualar travellers who can mentally switch off the one which does not apply to them.

That's a good idea. Which station does that? (I'm a Phil fan, myself) |

At Exeter St Davids, Doris does Platforms 1,2,5,6 and Phil does 3/4. Up London is Doris, Down London is Phil - the same applies at Tiverton Parkway.
My pref is Doris, as I prefer the way she says London Paddington & Waterloo.

And the way she says "HWestburee" is dead sexy as well. Phil Sayer just shouts...
I'll get my coat.

I'm not convinced that our local Doris is the same as the one on the You Tube clip. Are there any more Doris clones out there?

There are definitely at least three Dorises in the FGW▸ area. Ex-Thames stations e.g. Oxford have a very posh lady doing the recorded announcements (although it has to be said that neither she, nor the departure screens are working about 50% of the time).
Ex Wessex trains and stations (along with the English announcements in Wales) are made by Doris no. 2, who sounds a bit younger and speaks very clearly but always sounds to me as if she has a vaguely sarcastic edge to her voice!
Doris no 3 is the one at some stations that were run by the "old" FGW before 2006, e.g. Bath, Bristol, Reading (although in some places she does a double act with digital Dave!)

Phil sounds far more realistic than Dorris. Also, someone needs to remind DOrris that there are only 2 'e's in Leeds and it is not Leeeeeeeeeeeds.
