Default Deafening busker at Piccadilly Circus

In article ,


Same thing often happens at Leicester Sq. It is deafening in the cab (SB
Northern Line), let alone on the platform. Totally drowns out any platform
or train PA messages. Station staff obviously know about it (they can't
miss the sound!) but ignore it. I get fed up with reporting it to the Line
Controller.


No doubt the station staff have reported it countless times to BTP too.
Until there's a safety related incident involving someone not hearing an
announcement because of the noise, BTP won't treat it as a priority.
