Revision as of 14:35, 5 February 2017
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.
