The electronically copied and pasted together announcements in the dulcet tones of Gretel Killeen appear to have been replaced by a real live person doing the announcements.
Why has this happened? One can only theorise (since a quick search of their website shed no light whatsoever on the matter)
Either...
- The auto-thingy is broken. It happens to the trains enough, after all. this has got to be a likely scenario
- It's a ploy to make people feel more empathy towards city rail. The chap does sound rather friendly. Let's see how excited he is after a couple of months of continuous train announcement, though.
- Gretel's tried to renegotiate her contract. BB is losing ratings every season. CityRail is having none of it.
- Some train driver's broken his thumb or something and can't drive. He's on worker's comp anyway, so they thought they'd put him to good use and stop him gettnig bored.
- Nothing's really changed, I've just finally lost the plot and am hearing voices.
what does everyone else think?
