She also has gigs for phone companies doing hold voices and "Press 1 for..." instructions. Emma Clarke's voice is well familiar to all of us who've travelled around the city.

John Cleese was right. The Brits are losing their sense of humour.
Voice of the London Underground canned for blogging funny fake announcement audio - Boing Boing
The woman who reads the London Underground next stop announcements has been fired for keeping a blog where she records and posts her own funny fake announcements, like "We'd like to remind our American tourist friends that you are almost certainly talking too loud" and "Would the passenger in the red shirt pretending to read a paper, but is actually staring at that woman's chest, please stop. You are not fooling anyone. You filthy pervert" and "Residents of London are reminded that there are other places in Britain outside your stinking shithole of a city, and if you removed your heads from your arses for just a couple of minutes, you may realise that the M25 is not the edge of the Earth"

The Brits are losing their sense of humour? I doubt if the people responsible for this ever had one in the first place.
The Underground and a sense of humour?
I think it's pretty funny when they announce that a train will be arriving; you know that won't happen, but they love to see our little faces light up.
Also any rail system that delays trains due to, and fuck I wish I could make this up, 'the wrong kind of leaves' on the track. You'd think every autumn was the first one.
I'm with you. No intentional sense of humour.
