A friend of mine had this driver out to Lilydale one night.
A similar comedy of announcements were made.
One went something like this (approaching Ringwood):
" Passengers for Belgrave get off this train here and wait for a Belgrave
train. Passengers for Lilydale stay on this train. Passengers who live
in Ringwood, get off this train here."
Good to know at least one driver has "a new train of thought"!
