Taking one of the newer trains from Hornsby to Wynyard subjects passengers to no fewer than 102 automated announcements and alerts. That's about 100 too many. And that excludes any manual announcements made with the volume invariably cranked up way, way too loud.
Stop it.

That's the new thing in (probably government-mandated) <a href="http://diamondgeezer.blogspot.com/2008/02/train-t106.html">accommodation for the deaf</a>. It's everywhere.
At Chicago's Union Station (Amtrak) all of the platform gates feature speakers which continuously chatter "gate for tracks one and two" announcements. At each and every gate. Continuously. Whether there's a train present or not. Whether there are any people present (or not).
It's probably an evil plot by the Department of Homeland Security justify imposing the same "security" regime they have at airports.. by driving some poor passerby to madness.
