In aus.rail, on 07 Mar 2001, James C. announced:

Sorry for reposting it them - because there are so many messages in this 
group, I filter out most of the citirail/qr/etc messages and concentrate 
on the victorian ones...

Many of them, although the lack of ANY announcements so often at FSS 
really annoys me.

I don't mind weird announcements, weird announcements are good, they break 
the monotony sometimes.

Who is the driver who often does the Epping line - I remember once passing 
through Victoria Park to the city, he suggested that all collingwood fans 
stand up, face left, and salute, and everyone else just try to ignore 
them...  I like him, he's good value.
