Reply to comment by climberskier in Say your goodbyes, it appears Frank Ogelsby’s voice will be leaving the Green Line soon by carigheath

Speculation, but the fact Frank's voice is used to announced the next train to Union Square tells me that it was probably not about skimping out at the recording booth. Someone bought him there there and he voiced his lines.

What it does makes me suspect is various decision makers are not in sync. Some took the effort to contact Frank for his voice, got it recorded, and used it for various places. But other decision makers are not aware or don't care so they didn't took the effort to get Frank Ogelsby's voice installed but just stipulated to use text-to-voice to announce stations.

I submitted a complaint on the T's website. It probably won't do anything but meh this sounds really bad.

Of all the complaints they're likely fielding currently, that will not rank highly on their list for sure.

This is the T. Not likely. They aren't suddenly going to care about the opinions of the passengers when they never have before.
