| | Among all the cities I've lived in where I use the public transport, London definitely offers the most unusual public announcements in its Underground network.
1. "The Victoria line is closed today due to industrial action." (industrial action = strike)
2. "There are major delays on the Central line due to passanger action." (passanger action = someone jumping onto the rail tracks. It's horrible.)
3. "This train is held at this station to even out the gaps between trains." This one never fails to baffle and amuse me each time I hear it.
4. "Planned engineering work." They should say "perpetually planned engineering work." Ok, ok, so it's the oldest underground network and they're always working to improve it.
