Echo for Google Assistant

Who hasn't missed a train or plane because of a bad PA system or lack of attention? 

To help travellers and to spread the word we launched a campaign in the UK where Google Assistant echoed every announcements live via digital billboards in every airport and mainline train stations. In these locations Echo doesn't need your phone's microphone - it uses the local microphones installed in the airports/train stations which makes it easier for you because you don't have to keep your phone out of your pocket. 

But it will of course still work just as well using your microphone in smaller train stations and even other countries where the campaign doesn't run.
