Whilst waiting for the 17:50(ish) Theale - Paddington service the automated pa system regularly announces "Passengers on platform 2 please stand back, Though train approaching" only for no train to appear.
I presume this in a First Great Western service which has disapeared somewhere or Maybe it's a new stealth train on trial.
Any thoughts? - What triggers the pa system to make these announcements?

i think its pre programmed, ie it detects a train and rolls off wot it thinks it should be, if trains get out of sequence then it has to be manually overiden by the station staff, i have been on fratton station late at night when all the station staff have gone home, there is some connex{or who ever they call themselfs now} ecs been through, this triggers the pa system to announce the connex service to where ever it goes then all the trains got out of sequence
