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?"
**********************************************************
At Camden town station (on a crowded Saturday afternoon):
"Please let the passengers off the train first. Please let
the
passengers off the train first. Please let the passengers off
the train first. Let the passengers off the train FIRST!
Oh go on then, stuff yourselves in like sardines, see if I care,
I'm going home."
**************************************************
"Ladies & Gentleman, upon departing the train may
I remind you to
take your rubbish with you. Despite the fact that you are in
something that is metal, fairly round, filthy and smells, this
is a
tube train for public transport and not a bin on wheels"
**************************************************
Driver: "I apologise for the delay leaving the station ladies
and
gentlemen, this is due to a passenger masturbating on the train
at
Edgware Road. Someone has activated the alarm and he is being
removed from the train.
**************************************************
"Ladies and Gentlemen 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. I felt sadly let down by the fact that none
of
you sent me a card! I drive you to work and home each day and
not even
a card."
"The bad news is that there is a point's failure somewhere
between Stratford and East Ham, which means that we probably won't
reach our destination. We may have to stop and return. I won't
reverse
back up the line - simply get out walk up the platform and go
back to
where we started. In the meantime if you get bored you can simply
talk
to the man in front or beside you or opposite you." "Let
me start you
off: "Hi, my name's Gary how do you do?""
***********************************************
"Your delay this evening is caused by the line controller
suffering
from elbow and backside syndrome, not knowing one from the other.
I'll
let you know any further information as soon as I'm given any".
***********************************************
"Please mind the closing doors..." The doors close...The
doors reopen.
"Passengers are reminded that the big red slidey things on
the side
of the train are called the doors. Let's try it again, shall we?
Please stand clear of the doors." The doors close... "Thank
you."
************************************************
"I am sorry about the delay, apparently some nutter has
just wandered
into the tunnel at Euston. We don't know when we'll be moving
again,
but these people tend to come out pretty quickly...usually in
bits."
