MIKE Squires tells us how railways have changed but missed some of the worst examples (EA Letters, January 21).
Can anything be more annoying than that awful automated waffle we are subjected to both at stations and on trains?
One of the pleasures of a long train journey was the different regional accents of the announcers but now we have the same boring voice droning on and on.
It's when things go wrong that it really irritates: "I'm sorry . . . " when you know it's only a computer.
Oh, and can they please stop pretending eight out of ten trains are on time, when on time means within ten minutes of the advertised time?
