Re: [NSW] Campbelltown SPI announcement

["Hubert Lam" <hubert@imap4.com>]

I remember GJB or Paul McCabe from railwavs had recorded a SPI announcement
at Campbelltown saying the XPT was going "all stations to Melbourne". The
same at Strathfield--the plasma screens show "Melbourne--All Stops" (imagine
that...)

However I don't think it usually says "please do not join this train".
Usually I hear "Only intending passengers should board this train" or "only
booked seat passengers should board this train" (however this may have
changed with the new soundbytes of Ms Owynns, with Mr Goldman being
scrapped).
