I have noticed that the first and last carriages are often less full.<br />The female voice is heard on trains going away from the city centre and the male voice on trains going in to the city (I think I've got it the right way round). I also believe a different gender voice is heard in clockwise and anti-clockwise directions on the circular (brown) line. I don't know why - it seems to me that if you can't work out whether you are going in or out of the city, the gender of the recorded station caller is going to help much.Colin Killickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17237864574043991290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845030753001254237.post-84779417516977582392012-01-30T03:23:24.108+03:002012-01-30T03:23:24.108+03:00Hi Colin,

For example, there is a secret that helps you to detect where exactly to stand on the platform waiting for a train. If you look carefully at the edge of a platform, you’ll see places that are worn out more than others. That’s where train’s doors are located when a train stops. Wait there and you’ll be the winner at rush hours. Although, I am not sure if it will work with the new type of trains shown on your photo.<br /><br />Also, there are male and female voices announcing stops. Perhaps you can investigate why yourself.<br /><br />Keep posting please! It is interesting to read.Evgenyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07944029476605271818noreply@blogger.com
