Default Announcement at Holborn

I heard a wonderful announcement on the Central Line at Holborn this
afternoon!

"There is a good service on the Central Line. There is a normal
service on all other lines"!

The recorded message on the Victoria Line station pa systems says
"Victoria Line services are operating normally". I often think that
leaves too much room for interpretation.

I like how there's a collective groan from the platform when that
announcement plays. hehehe

I confess to having a somewhat cynical reaction too although to be
completely fair the Vic Line is generally pretty decent.
