I am one of those people who reads the ATIS at EGLL and I total agree with you that some of my colleagues do indeed read it far to quickly. Occasionally I have had to re-record the broadcast because the person I have taken over from has done it to fast.
The automated ATIS will be operational sometime this year, but as with all NATS projects it is running late!!
I shall take your comments onboard and pass them on to my colleagues.
