A list of actual announcements that Tube train drivers have made to their passengers....
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I do apologise for the delay to your service. I know you're all dying to get home, unless, of course, you happen to be married to my ex-wife, in which case you'll want to cross over to the Westbound platform and go in the opposite direction".
"Your delay this evening is caused by the line controller suffering from elbow and backside syndrome, not knowing his elbow from his backside. I'll let you know any further information as soon as I'm given any."
"Do you want the good news first or the bad news? The good news is that last Friday was my birthday and I hit the town and had a great time. The bad news is that there is a point's failure somewhere between Stratford and East Ham, which means we probably won't reach our destination."
"Ladies and gentlemen, we apologise for the delay, but there is a security alert at Victoria station and we are therefore stuck here for the foreseeable future, so let's take our minds off it and pass some time together. All together now....' Ten green bottles, hanging on a wall.....'".
"We are now travelling through Baker Street, as you can see Baker Street is closed. It would have been nice if they had actually told me, so I could tell you earlier, but no, they don't think about things like that".
"Beggars are operating on this train, please do NOT encourage these professional beggars, if you have any spare change, please give it to a registered charity, failing that, give it to me."
During an extremely hot rush hour on the Central Line, the driver announced in a West Indian drawl: "step right this way for the sauna, ladies and gentleman...unfortunately towels are not provided".
"Let the passengers off the train FIRST!" (Pause ...) "Oh go on then, stuff yourselves in like sardines, see if I care - I'm going home...."
"Please allow the doors to close. Try not to confuse this with 'Please hold the doors open'. The two are distinct and separate instructions."
"Please note that the beeping noise coming from the doors means that the doors are about to close. It does not mean throw yourself or your bags into the doors."
"We can't move off because some idiot has their f***ing hand stuck in the door"
"To the gentleman wearing the long grey coat trying to get on the second carriage - what part of 'stand clear of the doors' don't you understand?"
"Please move all baggage away from the doors (Pause...) Please move ALL belongings away from the doors (Pause...) This is a personal message to the man in the brown suit wearing glasses at the rear of the train - put the pie down, four-eyes, and move your bloody golf clubs
away from the door before I come down there and shove them up your a**e sideways"
"May I remind all passengers that there is strictly no smoking allowed on any part of the Underground. However, if you are smoking a joint, it's only fair that you pass it round the rest of the carriage".
There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

This is one
I
actually heard once on the London Underground - virtually word for word - I'll never forget it...
Picture the scene ... slow moving train .... the guy at the back of the train came on to tell us we were running late because the train in front had some mechanical problem .... then he obviously gets his comm switches wrong & the words between him & the driver are heard by all.... next words ..
'... I think we're going to be up his f**king arse all the way in now ...... '.... all we have to do is think of some f**king nice way to tell the f**cking passengers ...'
Well I think they did that
Think Global. It's the world we live in.

Once when I was on the tube with my mum someone accidentally leant onto the emergency lever thus forcing the train to stop at the next station. The driver kept shouting down the intercom "are you alright? What is the problem?" this carried on for 10 minutes until the driver got out of the train and had to check every single emergency lever until he got to the one right opposite me. Luckily the person who pressed it hadn't got off the train!
