"Matthew P Jones" wrote in message

This morning I was on a northbound Bakerloo train coming into
Paddington. There was an announcement over the P A along the lines of
"at the request of the police this train will not stop at Edgware
Road". This announcement was repeated a few times, including when we
were stationery at Paddington.

I have to assume the driver made the announcement, it sounded very
different from the automated announcements of station names. Now, if
you have not spotted the confusion, the train had already stopped at
Edgware Road before it got to Paddington. It is rather worrying that
the driver did not know where they were, or are, or where they were
going or where they had already stopped!

Being literal minded, the announcement was of course quite true: that train
was *not* going to stop at Edgware Roard...
