Better still, the cut-and-paste jobs like (Parramatta) "Due to trackwork
between Strathfield, and Ashfield...  *THIS!*... train... will... GO TO...
the City... via Sydenham".

And another at Liverpool, after advising passengers of the service stopping
at such-and-such then alternative arrangements: "...passengers for, City...
REMAIN...!!!".

But he ("Mr CityRail") is one of the best.  Second place: "Ms Flinders
Street" (The Met)?  Is she still there?
