For a while now the automated announcer on Jubilee line trains has had
a different voice. Well, partly. The voice that announces the station
you're at and tells you what lines you can change to is different, but
the voice which announces where the train terminates is the same. Does
anyone know the reason for this change? I rather miss the old voice,
the new one sounds like a drunk upper class prostitute (or at least how
I'd imagine one to sound).

On a related topic, anyone remember the JL staffer who did platform
announcements (he may have been a driver)? I never actually heard him in
action, but was hoping to interview him for the Jubilee line staff and
customer magazines back in 1998-99. However the management weren't so
keen as he was apparently contravening some condition of his employment
and 'had been warned'. Several passengers wrote very positive letters
about him to the magazine, which I don't think we were able to publish.
