Overheard by a Canadian: Episode 5

Typical message heard by passengers waiting for trains: "Your attention, please. The train to ___ [insert destination here] has been canceled due to _____ [insert technical jargon here] earlier today. We apologize for any inconvenience."


Today's message: "Your attention, please. The train to Luton has been canceled due to a passenger being hit by a train earlier today. We apologize for any inconvenience."




um...WHAT?!?!? You really couldn't vague that up a bit? Was it really necessary to announce it at all? I, for one, did NOT need to hear that right before I stepped onto your next train. And what about the "inconvenience" to the passenger?? I hardly think this apology covers it.
