Rolling stock announcements
Class 700, 707, 717
The Siemens-built Class 700, 707 and 717 series use Julie Berry for the primary voice of their passenger information systems, announcing calling patterns, destination information, interchanges and points of interest.
Bombardier Electrostar and Turbostar series
The ADtranz, and later Bombardier, -star series of trains utilise Julie Berry for their passenger information system.
