Pre-Recorded BTP announcement used at Woking, all London Terminals (except Waterloo, which uses the general 'unattended parcels and luggage" message), Edinburgh, Manchester stations and main stations too: "If you see something that doesn't look right, speak to staff or text the British Transport Police on 61016. We'll sort it. See It, Say It, Sorted." - 2 minutes 25 seconds into this video.

TranspennineExpress use Rob for many of their station announcements.

Virgin Trains use a male and female voice for their Pendolinos, voiced with a a slightly more informal style to many TOCs. 

West Croydon Announcements, by an unknown voice who only goes by the name of "boofay", due to the way she pronounces Buffet. 

Finally, an example of a mixture of voices in one announcement, because the service crossed over a variety of areas covered by different voices, so the train announcement wasn't recorded in one voice! Here Anne pronounces Totnes, with the ScotRail and TPE announcer speaking the rest.
