I remember many years ago music used to be played over the station PA system at Glasgow Central and also at Carlisle for a brief period. Were there any others where this used to happen and does it happen anywhere now?
I wonder what music the staff at Blackpool chose to play to the punters - Art Blakey 's Moanin' perchance?Blackpool North certainly used to have musik I installed the system and registered it with the PRS (performing rights society)

Euston Square plays classical music in the ticket area.
Wasn't there some research carried out that playing classical music makes troublemaking youths less comfortable and encourages them to move on?
Wakefield Kirkgate had brass band music playing when I was there earlier this year.
Virgin still do this at York. I think it is quite intrusive. If they played some AC/DC I wouldn't mind so much.

I've heard Korn, System Of A Down, Papa Roach and Nirvana amongst others played at Liverpool South Parkway. I'm going to see if they take requests and up the ante to Behemoth, Carcass or At The Gates.
Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb would be an excellent choice.

Fantastic choices, might I say. I heard some terrible modern pop starlet's voice floating over the tannoy at Selly Oak yesterday; safe to say I turned the Soundgarden up.
Come to think of it, all these bands should (probably) get an airing at Derby/East Midlands Parkway during Download Festival season (7th-11th of June); I certainly wouldn't mind stepping off a 221 to hear Slayaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhh greeting me at Derby!

Not just youths, it's surprising how many people seem to absolutely detest classical music such that they can't bear being within earshot.
SCREAM for me DONNINGTOOOOOONNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!
XD
Willesden Junction has a fair variety from classical to ska for most of the day.
One day maybe a virtuoso will play one of the pianos at St.Pancras instead of the cat's tail in a mangle kind of sounds that greet us at present.

No - please NO! No music OF ANY KIND. It's a railway station. Whatever next? Scented air, maybe? ("You like scented air" - HHGttG). Dance troupe? Passenger choirs? Platform races? Random TV interviews of passengers by extra toothy big be-lipped TV women - "As a Great Northern passenger would you like to be on television? - It's a wond-erful opportunity". NO. Just give us the information we need to help us to get a train out of there. But wait - it'll be in the trains as well next. Scented air, piped music everywhere, scented carriages (It's called "Freshness". They are chemicals which give me asthma). Hate it! Feel the same as Arthur Dent did.
