Announcements like "This train is ready to depart, stand clear of the

Yes, very pointless. Particulary since the spiel is so long that
anyone with more than a couple of days' rush hour experience knows
that "This train is now ready to depart, stand clear of the doors..."
really means "There is plenty of time until the doors close, continue
boarding."
