Classical music was being played

Maybe someone can suggest some appropriate music for various stations.

City Thameslink: 'Twenty four minutes from Tulse Hill', Carter USM

While we're at it, other useful Carter songs:

New Cross: 'The only living boy in New Cross'
New Cross Gate: 'Panic' (the B-side of the above)
Charing Cross: 'Stuff the jubilee' (geddit?)
Brixton: 'And god created Brixton'
Peckham Rye/Queens Road Peckham (yes, NR not LU): 'The taking of Peckham
123', to alternate with the Only Fools And Horses theme tune (also, the
Grange Hill theme tune to be played at Grange Hill, obviously)

They also have a cover of 'Down in the tube station at midnight', by The
Jam. Their '2001: A Clockwork Orange' is so called because the Glasgow
Underground's nickname is the 'clockwork orange'; i don't think that helps
us much, though.

And getting away from Carter:

White City: 'London calling' - The Clash

Although according to
http://www.starfury.demon.co.uk/uground/bbcbh.html, then there might be
a better station we could play it at.

Didn't Jules Holland do a 'London A-Z' album a couple of years back?

There's more to it than that. There have been a number of studies which
suggest that some types of classical music (*) engage often undeveloped
parts of the mind much more than others. Some people (and I make no
judgements whatsoever) simply love this while others are scared stiff.

(*) This is a complex area, but current research suggests that it is
the essentially patterned-based styles of most 18th-century music that
do the trick - hence the endless Vivaldi, Bach and Mozart.

Oh, come on! Surely it's just the company using it trying to give
themselves a veneer of 'sophistication', similar to slapping a classical
facade onto a building.

Years ago, when I frequently used Primrose Hill station, the chap in the
ticket office used to keep the PA mic. on so as to relay his choice of
music-listening to the (few) waiting passengers.
