When the guard bothers to actually make the announcement himself
which is roughly 50% of the time, it nearly
impossible to understand their garbled speech in any case.
At least on the train that I was on I could hear what was being
said clearly, though I think it would be an advantage
to be able to hear it outside the train as well as within the carriage.
Will every train be getting this facility ?
Is there some likelihood that the message will be played outside the
train as well as in the carriage ?
If it is possible to make the "Door closing" announcement can
it also announce stations, destinations and stopping
patterns as well ?
Why is there a union ban on this new facility at the moment ?

It's still subject to a union ban.)
Anyone have any answers to my curiosity ?
