Germenglisch?
It's very interesting to hear the significant differences between the German announcements and English announcements by the Deutsche Bahn conductors on the trains. The German announcements as we approach stations generally announce the station and tell what some of the major transfers are with their destination, train number and platform location. It always closes with a thanks for riding and wishes of good day/evening. The English ones are always "Laaadies and Gentlemen. We are in a few minutes arriving in Wolfsburg station. We taaaank you for riding Deutsche Bahn. Good bye."
