The guy on the 444 & 450 who also does all of the station announcements at most SWT stations (except places like Waterloo which has its own), can only say station names and certain other train related things. On a Bournemouth & Portsmouth Harbour (they split at Eastleigh on Sundays) train he is really annoying...
"This is London Waterloo, this train terminates here, all change please... Welcome aboard the South West Trains service to Bournemouth & Portsmouth Harbour. Calling at Clapham Junction, Woking, Basingstoke, Winchester & Eastleigh, where this train divides. Please ensure you are travelling in the correct portion of this train. The front 5 coaches will be calling at, Hedge End, Botley, Fareham, Portchester, Cosham, Hilsea, Fratton, Portsmouth & Southsea and Portsmouth Harbour. The rear 5 coaches will be calling at, Southampton Airport Parkway, Southampton Central, Totton, Ashurst New Forest, Beaulieu Road, Brockenhurst... (long pause of about 15 seconds)...

Closed circuit television is used on this train for your safety and security. This train is for Bournemouth & Portsmouth Harbour and the next station is Clapham Junction."
Grrrr... any reason for the long pause between Brockenhurst & Sway, is it because of insufficient memory to load those station files?
