"Will Inspector Sand please proceed to Basement n on the Kent side."
"All rail staff to maintain radio silence please."
I'm at Victoria station today waiting for the train to leave for the short hop to Battersea Park station, when these familiar harbingers of station closure due to a "suspect package" are heard. What are we on the train thinking?
(A) "Oh my God, we're all going to die."
(B) "Remember the time that guy was killed by a bomb in a waste-paper basket outside Smith's? How long ago was that?"
(C) "Get this bloody train out, it's late already".
If you answered (C) you're probably closest to the mark.
At the time of writing nothing untoward seems to have happened.
