Not a real ad for Cityrail Sydney

The announcement at the end of the video has been filmed at Epping station. The train does terminate but nearly immediately goes back to the other direction, so of course the people waiting on the platform need to board that train, but the announcement always asks people not to join the train. Stupid really!
I do like trains though and I think many more people should use them. They are much safer than cars.

I work at epping. The terminating train announcement is automatic, because it IS a terminating service.. But forms another service which is updated in 2 minutes. The people getting on the train are familiar with the system so they board the train as usual..

@nGRSteve0

Shouldn't the announcements aim to help people who are not familiar with the service? Those who are familiar don't need announcements at all. Automatic systems need to have some flexibility to be relevant.

[nGRSteve0]

They do have flexibility. It plays the terminating service announcment ONCE then changes the indicator boards. The whole system is automatic anyway.

@nGRSteve0

If there is some flexibility why can't it be stopped after saying that it terminates and then say immediately where it will now be going. It doesn't look good to say Please do not board when there is no reason for people not to board the train.

They are a lot safer than cars. About 9-10 car accidents happen every 2 months and 1 train accident once every 1 year and a half

[Kanguruo]

I agree with you. I don't even own a car.

@moiz1968 stupid comparison, a lot more people are on a train, no seatbelts so a train accident is different to a car accident
