    Oh yeah, but the fact that it’s on an official NS information board on a train station - the kind of place were you usually just get serious announcements in somewhat formal language - and actually informing travellers of real problems with the train they’re waiting for, gives it quite a lot more punch than it merelly being overboard baby talk.

    Think about it this way: it’s like a normally very serious customer support person suddenly decides to inform customers of a problem with the product and does so using the most ridiculous baby talk.

    The language is funny and then the context elevates it to hilarious.
