Tower Hill auto anouncements

I know this is an old thread but couldn't help replying. The type of announcement at Tower Hill is used at quite a lot of central line stations, worst of all at Bond St where it seems to be played about every 90 seconds, and on the Jubilee Line platforms too. I remember during a 12 minute gap in service on a sparsely populated platform they kept playing this, plus "ladies and gentlemen there is a good service on the Central Line". plus "Ladies and gentlemen, there is a good service on all London Underground Lines". Plus "ladies and gentlemen, as part of the TFL investment programme..." which was a manual recording and sounded like a dalek being strangled due to a long standing fault with the system. So there were almost back-to-back announcements. I suppose they think starting every anno. with "Ladies and Gentlemen" is to fool us into thinking TFL are being polite and respectful. I assume these initiatives come from TFL as a marketing exercise.

Much better is the type used on the Northern Line - polite and to the point.
