You’re on the English forum, meaning that you do have to speak English. (Ik vergeet het ook soms :lol: )

Thanks for the vids! I've just found another good quality video, with a text transcription. Is this good?

EDIT: I'll also replace "dames en heren (ladies and gentlemen)" with "rezigers (riders)".

ONE LAST QUESTION. Should I make the announcements with a TTS voice, or with people in real life (you could be the voice!)?

Real voices it is! But, you may ask, who will be voicing the announcements? YOU GUYS! That's right, one of you will be able to be the voice of Rijndam Transit. I will need one Dutch* announcer and one English announcer. Sign up here.

* If you wish to be the Dutch announcer, you will also need to be able to speak English.

EDIT: The form has now closed and won't be accepting requests.

@metro sim addict has signed up for the english voice, but the dutch voice is still up for grabs! Sign up from the link in the post above ↑

Also, @Sjoerd, is the "Het volgende station is..." announcement any different at terminating station? Most of the the time there's some sort of indication that it's the last station
