I've been in Bristol this week, travelling to Bath and Gloucester, and one of things I've found a bit irritating on Temple Meads has been the different announcements on the station being made at the same time.
Not sure if it was the same on the few days beforehand, but yesterday morning on platform 3 one was being made from platform 3 and one from platform 5, and quite often they were overlapping each other, they both seemed a mixture of service announcements and things like the "Say it, See it, Sorted" & Derby resignalling ones.
Have never noticed it at stations before - possibly this is down to me not having the time/the need to pay attention - but the same thing was happening at Birmingham New Street yesterday lunchtime. When it was happening I found it a bit hard to separate the two for a few seconds (I should add I have hearing problems in one ear), which isn't helped when there's the noise of trains arriving/leaving thrown into the mix. It just seemed the sort of thing you'd think station managers could manage a little better, apologies if someone's down a thread about it before, I couldn't find one.
