I'm afraid that I think it's not because he is new.
That's an usual scene in japan. All of conductors and station attendants sending trains always point it out where they have to check with their hands. They are making sure and showing theirself to give people relief of safety.
Japanese train timetables are so tight. After a few minite, another train comes on time. I've never seen such a timetable out of japan.
By the way, I live in a city next to Kobe. May I help imeka something?
Osaka people are very proud of their dialect. In general, they tend not to recognize any dialect nearby out of osaka as kansaiben, although in this case I think they will do it since somehow Kobe has an image of a high class as well as Kyoto.
Anyway people living out of osaka think Kobeben is almost the same as osaka and can't distinguish Kobeben from Osakaben.
Don't mind even when someone from Osaka says yours is not osaka-ben.
