Bus Eireann have changed the 'luggage doors operating' voice

A national treasure!

BRACE YOURSELVES, WE have some potentially horrifying news.

We’ve received word that the stalwart of Irish life, the man who says “stand clear, luggage doors operating” has been replaced. BY A WOMAN of all things in some cases!

They replaced the pervy voice that used to say 'stand here, luggage doors operating' with some professional gal AND she says it in Irish.

Fear not though, it appears that it is just the new fleet of vehicles who’ve been sullied, with many buses retaining the old favourite:

There's something so reassuring about the man who says 'Stand Clear, Luggage Doors Operating' on #BusEireann
