I think this is worth noting. Phil Sayer, voice of many station announcements, died, aged 62, on Thurday 14th.

A former BBC presenter who became the voice of the 'mind the gap' announcements on the London Underground has died of cancer.
Phil Sayer, 62, whose voice was heard on most of the automated PA systems on railway stations across the UK, died on Thursday.
Mr Sayer presented a daily show on BBC GMR - now Radio Manchester - in the 1980s and also read regional TV news.
He and his wife Elinor Hamilton later set up a company as voice-over artists....

The built in forum search function is terrible (unless you want to search by username). Personally I use Google and you can force Google to search only this site by putting in your search term and then at the end typing site:www.railforums.co.uk
