I wonder how long it takes for the station announcer at Swansea (or Shrewsbury) to read out the list of stations that a Central Wales train will be calling at in Welsh and then English. Do they include the request stops?
Yes, the auto-announcer reads out the full list of stations, including request stops. At Shrewsbury, the announcement for Pwhelli services is similarly lengthy. It then goes on to churn out the list of request stops, which concludes with the incredibly wordy and clunky "... are request stops and passengers for these stations should ask the conductor on board to arrange for the train to stop to allow them to alight"
