Departure Procedure and Sounds

A pre-recorded female voice says "Atentie se inchid usile" which means "Mind the closing doors". Newer trains have beeping sounds as the doors close, older trains not. Between stations she says "Urmeaza statia [station name] cu peronul pe partea dreapta/stanga" which means "The next station is [station name] with the platform on the right/left side".
