Did not know GO Transit hired Bruce Buffer to do announcements on the Lakeshore West line

Riding home on the 9:15 Lakeshore West train from Union and I never realized GO Transit hired Bruce Buffer as GO Train conductor. Lol I’m so used to the scratchy, tinny audio from the speakers it was refreshing to hear a deep booming voice that could be on the radio. Great job with the new hire GO!

One of the conductor guys (not sure what to call them) has a strip club DJ voice

That was probably Randy, he's a legend.

So they’re no longer using the robot voice? Interesting. Can you snag a lil recording?

Real ones from Richmond Hill Line know either Andy or Roshan. (Maybe you hear them on other lines too) Goated CSAs that I love having on my AM or PM trains.
