I don't buy the scripted announcements thing (or even the automatic ones). The real human-being ones do add a personal touch. Let's keep them!
That's, probably the best post of any new member on the P11 boards I refer to the DMUs (well really just the 29ks as the older ones aren't so bad) as "rolling trashcan," "garbage can on wheels" "drunken monkey on steriods" (in reference to the way some of them shake in action) or when I'm really annoyed, "s*** trains" but "public toilet on wheels" is also apt. you've also got a point about those announcements too IMHO.
