Question

Now we have severe delay because of the heavy snow.  During your waiting        (on or for ) the train , we suggest you to buy a lunch box for yourself for lunch. Is the answer " on  or for " ok for the blank ?  Or just only one answer "on" is better?  Is the train announcement only broadcast on the train, not on the platform?

It's your story, so you'll have to tell it so that the broadcast of the announcement is heard in the appropriate place. If you're waiting for the train, you're on the platform. If you're waiting on the train, you're on the train.
