I wrote a few days ago about Emma Clarke, the woman who does the voice for the London Undergound tube announcements. She had created a set of spoof announcements which were doing the rounds on the web. Some of them were quite funny.

Well, it seems that Transport for London weren’t so amused and Emma has been dropped as the voice of the tube as a result. A shining star of the TfL PR department said:

“London Underground is sorry to have to announce that further contracts for Ms Clarke are experiencing severe delays.”

She was in all the papers today, so we did get to see what she looked like…
