Expect the Unexpected
The next station is… announcements! Listen out both on platforms and trains for audible details of every journey. Be further immersed inside trains with added passenger ambience. Be ready for random events and faults, signals may take longer to clear, speed restrictions could be in place, or equipment failures on your train may need resolving.
