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.
