Will these be anything like those olive green boxes on the TransAdelaide network
where you
press the button and a computer generated voice (usually horribly distorted)
states ..

"THE NEXT TRAIN TO (pause) PORT (pause) ADELAIDE WILL ARRIVE IN (pause) ONE
(pause) EIGHT (pause) MINUTES"

Apart from Adelaide itself and, possibly one other station (Noarunga I think)
none of the platforms in the TransAdelaide network are manned or have train
indicators. Very few even seemed to have a posted train timetable.

Will the Digitised Voice Announcers replace CityRail staff and train indicators
at all stations?
