During the last Open House weekend, the DLR ran a train with a
commentary between Bank and Lewisham; it was very good!
They actually do that quite often (or used to anyway). In addition to
this, the "London Walks" organisation provides at least one tour a week
which includes use of the DLR and where their guide is allowed access to
the on board PA system.

Not *that* often. I use the DLR every day

Last I heard, the tourist commentary was done hourly from 10am until just
before the evening rush hour. Anyone with normal commuting hours will never
hear it.

A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.
That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes

I took the DLR to and from Greenwich during the day a few times last
week and didn't hear anything apart from the interchange info.

The Piccadilly line is not a vehicle. The last time I road on that
line I had about a 15min wait.

Part of it *will* be a road next month! (Hatton X to T4)

Ah.

Thanks and all, but your sig's still too long.

And crap.

I quite like it. Besides, it's only six lines, unless you're very
worried about the bandwidth for downloading two new line characters at
the end...

You didn't spot the word "hourly".

Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth. ****.

I quite like it.

I think it's attracting the wrong sort of women, so I'll be changing it at
the end of January. As it happens, my new sig will be shorter.
