"Hello! You're on the train"

I had the misfortune to be stuck for an hour on a broken down GWR train at Bedwyn with a train manager who was clearly a frustrated actor. The drama. Announcements every two minutes saying absolutely nothing, all accompanied by almost every one in the carriage phoning their friends / spouses / anyone who might be driving in the vicinity to divert and pick them up... "We're stuck at Bedwyn... Bedwyn!... Well, I don't know, look on a map; I think it's near Pewsey... Pewsey!... No idea either... I can see a canal and some cows, does that help?" Gah!

Back when I had a girlfriend in Cardiff I seemed to spend a lot of time on GWR or FGW or whatever services between Bristol Parkway and Cardiff... if I could understand the announcements I felt lucky, they were either spoken at 0.2 words per minute in a Wurzels impersonation - I'd fall asleep before they finished each word - or in some high-pitched garbled Welsh babble, clearly because the Taffs don't understand technology or fear the microphone will steal their worthless Welsh souls or something.
