I remember a great one at Morden when there was no service Kennington to

Morden either way.

The scrolling display said "There is currently no service Morden to Kenn...."

and then immediately switched to "No service Northwick Park to Chorleywood
because of a person taken ill at Pinner".

For some reason, we never got the full message about the Northern Line.


Do they still refer to 'person under train' or has the terminology
changed?


Isn't the euphamism "person on the track" now?
