In the message about Amusing On train pub*****, from TB to ALL!, TB said:"

TT> Travel on the Caboolture line (Brisbane) on an SMU or reglorified EMU with
TT> SMU announcements, and you might be lucky enough to hear that you're on a
TT> Kippa-Ring train "...stopping at ALL stations" (like they do).

I guess these automatic announcements have killed off the guard made
announcements that sounded just like if they were a pre-recorded
announcement. I always found it amusing how Brisbane guards never ad-libed
any announcements... they were always in the form:

Bethania... Bethania Station... Bethania when approaching a station.

(Substitute your favourite Brisbane station for Bethanina in the sentence
above).

Albert.
