It's not just the sound, the departure boards (which are supposed to tell you which train(s) are next) spend a lot of time with those useless warnings showing instead.

Ugh, I hate the tube for this. And I've noticed that that the 'importance' of the scrolling text has gone down over the years.

When I'm on a tube platform, if I'm looking at the upcoming trains, I don't need to be reminded that I shouldn't smoke or that there's Rugby coming up at the weekend.
