Walking tube sign by Stevec77

Did anyone else hear the alternative tube announcments at Hammersmith last night?
It was absolutely Hilarious!
I noticed something was up when the guy announced the "district line train on platform two, calling at all stations to Upminster [2] with a U." Hmmmm...
Swiftly followed by "The next train on platform one will be the cockfosters train" and he giggled followed by some static.
This was my train. I was tired and figured I was hearing stuff. [3] No one else seemed to have noticed anything.
Until... "Lay your bets ladies and gentlemen please"a doff and some static.
Now the people were paying attention. "On your right we have the Piccadilly line and on the left the District line in racing green"
You know Im giggling my head of now right? The people are just like staring...
*STAND CLEAR OF THE CLOSING DOORS -MIND THE DOORS PLEASE*
"and while the Piccadilly line is talking about it the District line is closing the doors taking the lead!!" doff doff.
So the train doors slam shut and as it accelerates out I just catch him...
"TOO BAD Piccadilly ... looooser!"
I wish they did it like that everyday....
