Many of our T trains feature automated station announcements; we've called them "Talkie T" ever since they came out in the late 90s. It's all computerized and you might think it would be easy to keep running smoothly, but sometimes Talkie T gets tired of saying the same things and decides to do a little improvisation of its own. Here are some of the station stops and announcements my Red Line train just made around 10:45 this morning:
- Davisporter (would be a great band name but someone kind of beat Talkie T to it in a roundabout way.)
- Porter SqUmass
- Davis-Savin Hi-JFK/UMass (We had pulled into Charles for that one.)
- The destination of this train is for the commuter rail.
