Whenever I’m on the central line and it comes into Wanstead, there is always an announcement telling people to “use the full length of the platform and let customers of the train first”.
Does anyone know the name of this woman and is it the same one who announces delays or suspensions on other lines. Her announcements always end with “All other lines are operating a good service”
From what I’ve heard, apparently her name is either Henrietta Bass or Pauline Cavilla.

Could be Pauline in this instance and the way of telling is she says "it will be a.. central line train.. calling all stations to" before going into the use the full length and let customers off. She was relatively short-lived though; once Metronet ceased, the BCV stations with Pauline have been changed over to the legacy Tubelines system, voiced by Elinor Hamilton. This is what Henrietta Bass says, so could be her. The way of distinguishing is Henrietta has a more mature voice. In my view she is superior, but she is being phased out as some of her recordings date back to even the days of LRT... indeed I recently heard a reference to "no smoking at London Regional Transport stations" (or something along those lines) at Highbury & Islington! The way in which they splice and stitch the recordings together on the Voice Perfect system that uses her voice is so much better than the jumpy/pitchy/disjointed legacy Tubelines system. |

What makes me laugh is I've never seen more than a dozen people waiting on Wanstead Inner Rail at any time and there's a PA encouraging them to use the whole of the platform.

Another funny one is/was added by Tubelines at Westminster on the Jubilee, played as the train approached; "... stand back from the platform edge.". Were they worried the PED screens might get blown over? |

It is funny if people use were to use the full length of the platform at Highgate - a greater chance of missing the train! |
