Announcements

Announcements provide way-finding information on the Sydney Metro.

Information about notation:
 * Angled brackets <> indicate that this section will be replaced by something. For instance, if " " is shown in the table, the word station will not actually be announced; instead the relevant station will be, such as Epping.
 * Braces {} indicate a choice between two phrases. For instance, if "on the {left/right}" is shown in the table, then in some cases the system will announce on the left, and in some cases on the right.
 * Regular brackets indicate that a word or phrase is not always but sometimes announced. For instance, if "(the)" is shown, then in some cases the word the will be heard, and in some cases it will not.

Stations
Most announcements are text-to-speech and use the macOS/iOS Australian English text-to-speech voice, Karen.

Some are pre-recorded and use the male and/or female voices who also voice Sydney Trains. The male voice is currently unknown, but the female voice is Taylor Owynns.

A 3-tone chime is often played before announcements, but not from the special speakers beside the escalators.
