On the other hand last week there was a SWT guard on the train from
Feltham to Waterloo who kept passengers amused by making humorous
announcements. One of his more serious ones was that he would get
seriously upset if he caught anyone with their feet up on the opposite
seat. He got a rousing cheer at that.

I've heard some good announcements on the SWT loop lines, ranging from a
good history of the ramps between Putney and Wandsworth Town, to an
almost interminable exposition of the variety of destinations reachable
from Clapham Junction, relieved only by details of the likely platform
needed for each destination (the latter announcement hadn't even been
finished by the time we pulled away from CJ).
