FP tube last night
-
Came out of FP tube station last night about 9-ish. Was waiting for the W3 when a recorded message started to ring around from the station asking for Mr ???? to report immediately to the operations room.
The message was on an almost constant loop, and I started to feel sorry for Mr ???? ("he's only human, give him a chance to get there"). Then I realised that Mr ???? probably wasn't human and the message was a coded alert.
And then the message changed, to an instruction for all to evacuate the tube station due to an emergency.
Anybody know what happened? -
Noramlly it's calling "Inspector Sams" (or Sands) and it's code for there's a fire alarm going off somewhere in the station - it is then often followed by an evacuation. It's always quite alarming though especially in the bigger stations and it's on the constant loop and there's lots of police around!

Sure it wasn't an announcement for Arhaydis Faakenjaab and Arwilbie Fayed?
Howdy, Stranger!
