LUL seem to like giving a running commentary - the top of the Circle
is particularly bad for this. It is pointless, as people ignore it
anyway.

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 do like the ones where the platform attendant starts droning on
about minding the gap when there isn't even a train in the station.
Perhaps they think we can't spot the large ditch where the tracks are
by ourselves?

Even more amusing is the instruction *never* to cross the yellow line on
platforms -- how are we expected to board trains?
