Nice announcement

The whole announcement thing is getting a bit silly. Not only on the trains but on the platforms. But what irritates me almost more than the number of the announcments is how (1) the train and platform announcements don't co-ordinate and (2) when things aren't working properly (late running and particularly out of order running) the systems don't cope. One that irritates me is the one they play on the platform when a train terminates - 'the train now standing, blah blah, all change please' which seems aimed at the occupants of the train, (which probably made sense before train PAs existed). However, the said train is usually just approaching the station, nowhere near the platform, and a similar announcement is also taking place on board just a bit too early, or they are announcing the outgoing service already... That's why they tell you to mind the gap between the platform and the train. |
