shoutout to the guy in charge of the train station at my hometown, who doesn’t limit himself to announcing trains but also:
- comments on interesting birds he sees on the platform
- gives completely unofficial weather reports on what he thinks the day is going to be like
- refers to very crowded trains as ‘friendly trains’
- regularly congratulates everyone on having gotten up on time on Monday mornings
- basically seems to use the tannoy system to amuse himself and try and brighten up everyone’s morning commute
- refers to himself as ‘the fat controller’
what magical land do u live where there’s something other than a robot in charge of the train announcing
There’s a guy like this at the station near my office, he does the evening shift when the trains are always late so he tells us little stories speculating on what they’re doing
he honestly improves my day so much
