Repeated on the PA while I was in the Western Ticket Hall just
after 3 this afternoon. It stopped shortly before I reached the
Westbound Met platform.

Any idea why?

You know it's the fire alarm I suppose? Why did it stop - probably
because someone reset whatever was causing the false alarm.

I suppose so. Nothing much then.

Not that unusual an occurrence. The 'Inspector Sands' PA
announcement is but an early stage in the fire alert procedure.

It was the first time I've heard it, for many years at least.
