Comment on Announcements on the train should refer to "port / starboard side" instead of "left / right in the direction of travel", when pointing to the exits.

My favorite mnemonic: “We have some red port left”
Thats s good one. Do you have horizontal traffic lights, or what is the connection to the red light?

Oh, of course. Forgot about those. I only did some rowing on a canal for a year while studying. Sadly other than that, there is not much water nearby
Good point, the lights on a boat or airplane (probably not a train) are red on the left and green on the right. Not sure how international that is.
Think it’s referring to the red & green wing lights on planes
