You've obviously missed the best ones:

"This train terminates at NEASDEN" - NEASDEN said with in a very stern,
angry tone after the almost cheery "this train terminates".

"This train terminates at FINCHLEY Road" - FINCHLEY is said about five
octaves higher than the rest of the announcement. This one's a real
classic. The first time I was on a train terminating there you could
see everyone laughing every time she said it.

Yes, I haven't heard those yet. Only Stanmore, which is pretty normal,
and "Willesden Green" in the isn't-that-interesting tone of voice a
friend of mine uses to speak to small children in!
