dunsbyowl Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Working in London I've never enjoyed traveling on the Tube and am especially wary of the numerous nutters on there (especially after watching that scene in Ghost). Been on the Circle Line today and there are loads of MTG announcements as it curves quite a bit. Now i find I have become one myself - so if you see people laughing to themselves on tube stations they probably not mad just exiled Owls PSL!

OxonOwl Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Yeah, I get on at Mansion House and there is nearly always an MTG announcement as I get there. Brings a grin to my face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went through there this morning - the photo was at Aldgate when I got on a Metropolitan Line Tube by mistake when I needed the Circle. Wadsley - where was yours ?

mirodo Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 There's one of the stations (think it's Waterloo on the Northern line) where the announcer has a proper 1950s Mr Cholmondley-Warner voice. MEYND THE GEP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxonOwl Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I think they use a recording (probably the same one for all stations) rather than pay someone at each station to announce over the tannoy that piggies passengers should "Mind the gap" Just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B) Since Boris decided to close down a lot of the ticket offices outside of core hours, many of the staff have been redeployed to the platforms, where they do live announcements on a radio mic. So there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
