Here's a fun story from the Tube this morning.
Right before a train leaves, an announcement will be made. "Please stand clear of the doors. This train is ready to depart." This happens every time any train leaves any platform, and it's always exactly the same.
So imagine my surprise today when this announcement came over the speakers: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Underground Olympic train races. Please stand clear of the doors, because the race is about to begin. Drivers, take your marks. Get set...go!"
And we were off. Everyone was smiling -- a rare occurrence during rush hour in Central London.
It was a nice little moment during an otherwise mundane commute.
