Why are they played even after the train has left the station and the doors
are closed? The annoucements do not seem to be in sync.

Braindead software probably by the same people who wrote the motor
control software. Accelerate-brake-accelerate-brake-accelerate... etc.
Not sure they've ever heard of the word "coasting". The 40 year old
victoria line does it much better.
