The 175s now have an odd new setup, including a slightly
Eastern-European-sounding "tune" before some announcements. They also
don't seem to include the request stops in the list of stations,
getting away with it by saying "the following principal stations".

The jingle does sound a bit home made. And you can hear the joins in the
station list.

Surprisingly, the announcements are not even in part in Welsh.

They've gone to great pains to have the end of coach displays show
Cryw/Crewe and the like, but for some reason they miss the Welsh translation
of Abergavenny (Y Fenni) - which is shown on the platform signs there.
