As a whole, the system contains three main parts;
TALKING BOXES station]] The PRIDE Talking Boxes measure 270mm width by 130mm height. They are horizontal form "SENTRY" units produced by the Dallas Delta Corporation of Melbourne. Most boxes have two buttons and a small Speaker ; a red button on the left (used for contacting Emergency Services ), the speaker in the centre, and a green button on the right. The green button, when pressed, contacts the PRIDE controller over the rail telephone network, identifying itself by the DTMF tones that correspond to the ID number printed on the box. The system then reads out times and destinations for the next few trains to depart that platform (or, in the case of stations with a single island platform with departures either side, both platforms).
