New Jubilee Line announcements as of today - not edited, this is legit.
It is confirmed this is Sarah Parnell and but Celia announces the Elizabeth Line interchanges

In addition to this - new Canary Wharf announcement. Sounds like Celia Drummond still.

I am so pleased Celia managed to record before she passed. The announcements integrate in well.
On the other hand, I am disappointed by the choice to use Sarah Parnell to re-record the entire Canning Town announcement. It just sounds so bad - and all just to mention City Hall, which isn't really necessary. I didn't think she was contracted to work on the JNP on-board systems...

It sounds like she is still trying to mimic the style of the Central Line announcements (and Notting Hill Gate and Bank are almost inaudible). She sounds fine on the 2009s and S stocks… |

If you think about a theory of a train announcer equivalent of a tv presenter. Sarah Parnell is basically the equivalent of Davina McCall in the sense that she seems to be on almost all the trains, like how Davina seems to be on every TV channel a lot of the time.

I am sorry to announce that North Greenwich has been next to fall victim to the Sarah Parnell treatment.
Absolutely awful. I'd have much rather they'd have retained Celia and just bodged in "London Cable Car" in Sarah's voice (ditto "City Hall" for Canning Town) to keep her input to a minimum. That could be disjointed, yes, but better than a whole re-record. Or better still they could have used Elinor Hamilton as they did with the Northern line and post-process the voice so that it's deeper.

I wish that Elizabeth line announcements 'fell victim' to changes ... I would see the changing of the style of the message to that of the Jubilee line would be a great improvement.

People might think it was a tube line!
