There was a window of time between the introduction of train PA systems and of platform gates and barriers where it made sense to announce “please leave the train now if you don’t intend to travel”. It faded out but seems to be returning. I guess it might be to help staff cleaning or restocking?

One of my favourite things about travelling on trains is when the train manager says, "If you're not intending to travel on this service, please alight now", as if everyone hasn't just had to get through Fort Knox to get on the train.
