On the District Line today, just about to arrive at the platforms at

this delay". The most ridiculous thing was the delay was so short there
was
barely time for the announcement to be played before we started again
and
arrived at the platforms.
Just seemed pointless to me.

A PA/DVA must be made within 30 seconds of the train stopping.


DVA? Is it Digital Vehicle Announcement?


Digital Voice Announcer.
