Following on from an earlier poll about on train announcements at
http://www.passenger.chat/25154 here's a similar one about on platform announcements. I was at Evesham yesterday afternoon - an intermediate station on the Cotswold line , await a train to Worcestershire Parkway at 14:36.
From 13:50 to 14:30 ... there were 9 recorded announcements
* Penalty Fare scheme at this station
* Mind the Gap when you board
* If you see something that doesn't look right, see it, say it, sore Ted.
(twice)* To ensure prompt departure, train doors may be closed up to 40 seconds before departure
* Please do not leave your luggage unattended at any time. Unattended luggage may be destroyed.
* Travel with confidence. Please be respectful. Wear a face mask unless exempt.
* Platform 2 ... for 14:33 is the
GWR▸ Paddington train / calling at ...
(twice)The train announcement varied slightly between the two announcements - both long, though, and included most of:
- This is the train from Hereford
- The number of coaches
- Food and Drink availability
- Zones for cycles, disable, standard and first class
- Doors at extreme ends of train not available for public use
If you think there should be more, please post a follow up to say what you think is missing, or if it should be more of the same.
If you think there should be less, please post to say which should be removed or combined.
