Ouch....
Ouch indeed!
I've noticed recently that Metro Control no longer merely announce over the tanoy that there are delays, but also when they're running "a good service" too.
Few other things:
4034(?) had some problems with its doors this afternoon. The "out of order" signs were placed on the doors but these were useless at peak times to those already on the train, as passengers still tried to press the buttons time and time again before running to the next set of doors at last minute!
The Metro I was on this morning had the old female voice announcements from Stadium of Light for a few stations, but then stopped working completely. The Metro I was on this evening had the new voice (which worked fine), but the screens were completely out of sync showing stations we'd already passed or weren't working at all.
