Voice facility in a Express trains.

There should have been an announcement of station name in Express trains during journey 5 min before the station arrives. This will be very useful for the people mostly travelling and getting off from train in Night journey. They can get ready to get down. Moreover, this facility would definitely be useful for other reasons as well such as one of them is to get food on order basis, etc. more  

Yes, correct. Digital display for station name and estimated arrival time at one/both side of compartment should be really implemented. However, Voice system may disturb but as there always be a noise in a different way in a train so, passenger would be habituated of that too and moreover it would not be a disturbing sound as compare to other :) used for announcement. more  
VOICE FACILITY MAY DISTURB THE FELLOW PASSANGERS ,SPECIALLY BETWEEN 12-30 AM TO 4.30 AM. DIGITAL DISPLAY ,SIMILAR TO THE ONE USED IN MUMBAI NEW LOCAL TRAINS ,WILL HELP PASSANGERS WHO HAVE TO GETDOWN DURING MIDNIGHT HOURS. NORMALLY THE COACH CONDUCTOR / COACH ATTENDANT HELP IN INFORMING THE PASSANGERS ,15 TO 20 MINUTES BEFORE ARRIVAL OF DESTINATION. BHAVNANI more  
Excellent suggestion and the concern of disturbing the other passenger is also true so maybe we can have a dual system. During the day announcement can be made and at night LED screens the one used at stations and airports can be used to display the name of the next station and estimated arrival time. It will also help people who are not familiar with the route to know when they have to start preparing for disembarking. more  
It is a good suggestion but this will disturb the passengers who are sleeping. If it is the last halt then it is ok. The best way is their should be a display board at both side of the compartment and railway recently planned to start with sending one sms to passengers 10 minutes before their destination. more
