>My favourite is the "All stations to Macarthur" - at Campbelltown!
Travel on the Caboolture line (Brisbane) on an SMU or reglorified EMU with
SMU announcements, and you might be lucky enough to hear that you're on a
Kippa-Ring train "...stopping at ALL stations" (like they do).
This is because the code for Caboolture line announcements is just slightly
off from the code for Kippa-Ring line announcements - easy to accidentally
enter a wrong number in a hurry.
The famous Kippa-Ring line is the overly promised and approved by
parliament Redcliffe rail line. Promised for more than 100 years now (the
land is bought and has been surveyed, all it needs is the track and stuff,
branching off just past Petrie on the down), the topic of such always seems
to be brought up again when an election approaches. Funny about that...
