Just like the 380s and 700s, the 717s do indeed have the NS (Dutch Railways) chime for driver announcements while the 707s do not. Either way, driver announcements on the 717s are not as common as they were on the 313s. This is because the 313s didn't have any automated announcements set up as GN knew they would get rid of them at some point 46:23 - Alexandra Palace - Change for Great Northern services via Welwyn Garden City 46:45 - Alexandra Palace departure 48:35 - Hornsey arrival 49:07 - Hornsey departure 50:47 - Harringay - Change for London Overground Suffragette line from Harringay Green Lanes 51:18 - Harringay departure 53:25 - Finsbury Park - Change for London Underground Piccadilly and Victoria lines, Thameslink services to Gatwick Airport ✈️, Horsham and Brighton via St Pancras International and Great Northern services to Kings Cross 54:49 - Finsbury Park departure 57:07 - Drayton Park - Exit for Emirates Stadium 57:47 - Drayton Park departure 59:12 - Highbury & Islington - Change for London Underground Victoria line and London Overground Mildmay and Windrush lines 59:46 - Highbury & Islington departure 1:01:30 - Essex Road arrival 1:01:57 - Essex Road departure 1:04:57 - Old Street - Change for London Underground Northern line and Moorfields Eye Hospital 1:05:22 - Old Street departure 1:07:53 - Moorgate (END) - Change for London Underground, Central, Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan and Northern lines, Elizabeth line, London Overground Weaver line and Greater Anglia including services to Stansaid and Southend Airports ✈️
