He said the situation had probably come about because someone had been transmitting the sounds near to the station and the public address system had picked up the frequency and relayed the signal.
I always thought the PA system was a closed system.
However worryingly, IF the system has the capability of being hacked in to.......

Didn't rearlise you could hear the Jubilee platform duties on the c2c platforms... IIRC the Jubilee is the only pair of platforms that can have a PA made to it via wireless signal 'cos of the detrainments...
I hope they do put it in on the SSR platforms before the new siding opens; it will be bad enough tipping out there without being able to make PA's from the platform...

Transport for London confirmed that a broadcast of 'sexual noises' was heard through the speakers. It said
the sounds had nothing to do with any of its staff and came from outside Tube property.
Receptionist Laura O'Connor, 28, who was heading home on the District line, said: 'We stopped at West Ham at about
6.45pm. As the doors opened, I heard strange noises over the loudspeaker.
'It was definitely a couple doing it there and then. He was grunting loudly and she sounded like she was having a great time. 'The driver must have heard it too, as the doors stayed open longer than usual,' she added.

Classic !! I thought all platforms on the combine were being equipped with RPA (radio public address) systems now?
Good old BBC : "Commuters used to hearing announcements about leaves on the line and late-running trains" .. mind you they might be on to something, a big shut-down at High St Ken last Sunday was caused by 'leaves in the points' causing them to fail !

With RPA it's only possible to broadcast in one zone at a time. Plus coverage isn't great. IF somebody had "borrowed" a RPA unit they'd need to be on the platform/ close area.

TfL also claim SPAD's are signal failures...
No they don't. SPaD in customer facing language is a signalling problem.
