[in response to Matt Ashby's "Which announcements do you think are
useless? Do
you have any examples?]

The automatic ones that broadcast over the top of useful
announcements the staff are making. E.g. at Earls Court, somone
announces "Sorry for the delay this evening, the next Wimbledon
train is currently leaving" then is interrupted by "A normal
service is operating on the district line"

I had that tonight at Aldgate.

A ladies and gentlemen there is a good service on all
underground lines, stepped on the announcement telling
us where the next Hammersmith & City line had got to.

I assume you're nominating the H&C announcement as useless, since the
H&C doesn't serve Aldgate.
