Last year's experiments in doing the same at Hammersmith and various
other London bus stations were apparently judged successful.

Hochbahn do/did it in Hamburg, too, at Hauptbahnhof-Nord on the U2.
Because the station is a huge, cavernous, deep-level affair with an
eerie, Russian feel about it (and two abandoned platforms still in
full view), the music gives it a really odd feel - not unpleasant,
though, and the local yoof weren't regulard so I guess it works there
too...

They have cctv on that station, too. It's great fun when the little
darlings are frightened out of their skins halfway down the escalator
riding on the handrail when a p.a. voice booms out "runter!" (get
off!).
