Revision as of 15:06, 27 August 2016
In the platform listings, zones are separated with commas, and platforms within zones are given as a range with a hyphen. This should be sufficient unless there are any stations where non-contiguous platforms are within the same zone, in which case a + is used to link those non-contiguous platforms. "Global" indicates that the station is not zoned and that all announcements are played through all speakers.

All stations that feature Anne now have miscellaneous announcements provided by a female employee of East Midlands Trains, and Anne's generic messages are no longer used. At larger stations, these messages are unique to the station they are used at, e.g. "Welcome to Nottingham station..." and every now and again you may be lucky to hear Anne say "Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening Welcome to ..."
