Strange Pasenger Anouncement
Hi group, heard this one yesterday from a tube driver:
"Due to activation of the emergency alarm on the following train we have been asked to wait at this station for 2 minutes" Why would the train behind effect the one in front? This was on a northbound Jubilee train at Bond Street about 1720 Monday. -- Fig |

If your train went off as normal, and the guy behind took five minutes to clear the alarm, a five-minute gap would have been introduced into the sequence of trains. Your train waiting meant that there was one two-minute gap and one three-minute (or whatever). tom -- HE TORE HIS FACE OFF!!! |

The rule is that if I am approaching the platform, the train will leave and I'll be stuck there waiting for the delayed one, but if I am on the train, it will be held to regulate the service. There is probably a name for this law. |
