Please stand behind the line as the train approaches and let passengers off before boarding
Is it really necessary to play it as much as they do at Bond Street, luckily
I am not there for very long, but it must drive the staff mad! |

LUL seem to like giving a running commentary - the top of the Circle is particularly bad for this. It is pointless, as people ignore it anyway. Neil -- Neil Williams, Milton Keynes, UK |

It's worse than pointless -- most passengers ignore *all* the announcements, even the occasionally useful one. For example, the endless 'mind the gap' warnings should be confined to the few stations that really need it, like Bank Central Line. |

I recall reading on the District Dave forum something about how one of the infraco's chosen replacement PA systems just blurts out the 'Mind The Gap' warning regardless of the station in question. |

I do like the ones where the platform attendant starts droning on about minding the gap when there isn't even a train in the station. Perhaps they think we can't spot the large ditch where the tracks are by ourselves? B2003 |

Even more amusing is the instruction *never* to cross the yellow line on platforms -- how are we expected to board trains? |
