Emma Clarke is the new voice of the Underground.

The Summer edition of "tube" states she's the voice of the Bakerloo &
Victoria lines - soon to be heard on the Central, Circle, Hammersmith
& City lines and parts of the District line.

Bart

Why the hell don't they just use a speech synthesiser?? WHy bother having all
this pre-recorded rubbish that costs a fortune and has to be re-recorded
if they need a new announcement? If a synthesiser is good enough for Stephen
Hawking to give lectures about quantum physics and cosmology at Cambridge I'm
damn sure its good enough for announcements in a tube train!

Because if they did, people like you would complain about "these damned
synthesised voices, why can't they emply a person to do the job".

I.e. what ever they do they're wrong.
