I can hear the pleasantly monotonous voice of the Viennese light-rail system's electronic train announcements: "Mariahilferstraße ... Westbanhof". But, my word! their web site reeks of a fat government contract with no oversight. Much more straightforward and functional is this Flash-based timetable. The sound effect is quite nice, too!
Web sites notwithstanding, Vienna's trains and the service are magnificent, and apparently carry small cargo flats as well as passengers.
