Ambient Scotrail Beats – Relax to Scottish train announcements over low-fi beats

I'm fascinated that these (ostensibly internal) reasons are actually broadcast.

Coming from Germany, I'm used to the reason for a train delay being announced as one of

- "people near the tracks"

- "waiting for another delayed train" or

- "operational issues", which ...yeah that includes everything else

It's kind of charming that delayed Scottish people get to bond over yesterday's theft of overhead line electrification equipment.

We also have a lot of infuriatingly tautological explanations, for example:

“We apologise that this train has only 2 carriages today. This is because the additional carriages failed to enter service.”

Well, yes.
