28.1.11 Announcements

Advice to passengers as the train approached Darlington -

"Please make sure you take any personal items and luggage.  Any item left on the train will be taken away and possibly destroyed by Darlington Police"

We have been warned!  Then there's the rather annoying automated warning, activated by sensors picking up movements from commuters in Dundee station.  This message is pretty much repeated every few seconds - reminded me of the escalator warning in ASDA.

"Customers are reminded to always use the handrail and take extra care on the stairs"

It's supposed to be a free country, so I did not feel obliged to use the handrail, and I took the standard amount of care while descending the stairs rather than the suggested extra care.  I also did not care for the split infinitive!
