Commuters who ride the rails in Tokyo are used to hearing pre-recorded announcements in English, but when it comes to live updates from the conductor driving the train, chances are you’d find a gold coin in a rice field before you’d hear the conductor making an announcement in English over the loudspeaker. Which is why this Japanese passenger whipped out their smartphone to record this rail conductor’s announcement while riding on JR East’s Ueno-Tokyo Line recently, sharing the clip on Twitter with the comment, “The train conductor’s fluent English even extends to the train delay information“.
In the upper left corner it shows where the train is coming from and going to.
The first one is Miyahara to Omiya.
The second: Is Saitama Shintoshin to Urawa.
The third: Is Ueno to Tokyo station.
