OMG the little Asian dude? He goes 'beeeepbeeepbeeep' at the doors, calls out the stations....argh, he drove me *nuts*. I'd do the choose-another-carriage thing if I saw him in it- not as bad as the obnoxious wheelchair lady with tenthousand windchimes and yippy dog though. :-| Ah, I miss the polite automated voice- we get the conductor who walks through also doing announcements...funny when it's the old guy who loses track of it.. "good afternoon passengers, this is the 5:49 service to Ballarat, stopping at Ballan and Ballarat only. No stopping at Bacchus Marsh. Just Ballan. Just repeating, this is the express Ballan Ballarat train, stopping North Melbourne and Footscray *pause* No, what am I saying? Not stopping there. Just Ballan. And Ballarat.", followed by muttering, which causes the commuters to laugh. The other morning, the conductor played the Thomas the Tank Engine theme over the system, saying Thomas wished us a nice day. And yes, he 'doo-dee-doo'ed along at the end after passenegers asked as he walked through why he didn't sing with it too... :-)
