Hmm...this is worded a bit differently than it is on the (E). 
The (E) still has Grand Avenue - Newton. The (A) announcements have been changed, not that you'll be hearing them any time soon. They're still Dianne Thompson, but the borough identifications have been corrected. When the R-160s were in their initial testing phase on the (A), they always skipped a borough, announcing "This is a Queens-bound (A) express train" in Manhattan, and "This is a Far Rockaway - Mott Avenue-bound (A) express train" in Brooklyn and Queens. Broadway - Nassau Street is now announced as "Broadway - Nassau". The (D) has a program to run to Far Rockaway, and most of the stops are voiced by Catherine Cowerdy, meaning she and Dianne Thompson recorded a lot of the same stuff, not including the stations that Cowerdy herself recorded three times. A few Thompson stations are included, but most were from Cowerdy. It's really interesting how some announcements show up randomly from another voice. The (F) is practically exclusively Thompson, except for Cowerdy announcing the Q3 at Jamaica - 179 Street. But if you send the (F) up the West End Line, "This is a Manhattan-bound (F) train, via the (D) line" is voiced by Cowerdy, as is "This is a Queens-bound (F) train, via the (D) line" at Grand Street. The (Q) still has programs for the Second Avenue extension, with possible terminals at East Side - 96 Street and 72 Street. Although the (M) is now orange on the FIND LCD screens, it remains brown on the TOD screen. |
