Trainspotter Posted November 27, 2007 Share #1 Posted November 27, 2007 London PA voice fired for slamming Tube LONDON (AP) — The woman behind the gentle, even voice which warns London's subway commuters to "Mind the gap" was fired after telling a newspaper she thought the transit network was dreadful. Emma Clarke has been recording messages for London's sprawling subway network, popularly known as the Tube, since 1999. In addition to warning passengers to watch their step in walking between subway cars and the platform, she also reads the trains' stops, tells Londoners how long they have to wait until their next ride, and delivers service updates. Transport for London, the body responsible for running the subway, said Monday that Clarke, 36, was fired for telling The Mail on Sunday she avoided using the subway whenever possible.

Pablo M 201 Posted November 27, 2007 Share #2 Posted November 27, 2007 Haha! Thats pretty funny. At least London Underground has plenty of time to find a new voice since there doesn't seem to be evident change in the system anytime soon in the future.

sebbieprops Posted December 2, 2007 Share #3 Posted December 2, 2007 It is sort of funny, agreed. A little surprised they went so far as to fire her over it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
