On the other hand, I use the Heathrow Connect fairly regularly to commute
between
Hayes & Harlington and Paddington. I can honestly say I have never
traveled on a more
annoying train. I haven't timed them yet, but I'm sure the P.A.s take up
more than half
of the journey time and none of them are the slightest bit interesting or
useful. Indeed,
the voice used for the announcements sounds like someone who is barely
awake!

With that I concur. Bloody Elf & Safety and Revenue Protection served
up in a saccharine and patronising tone.

Train: 'For your safety......'

Me: 'STFU, you're worse than my bl**dy wife etc.'
