''The woman who became the "Voice of the Tube" has been sacked after allegedly criticising London Underground (LU).
Voiceover artist Emma Clarke, 36, is the woman millions of Tube travellers hear warning them to "mind the gap".

Ms Clarke, from Altrincham, Greater Manchester, upset her paymasters by allegedly saying she did not use the Tube because it was "dreadful".

LU said it would not be offering her further work but Ms Clarke said she had been "wildly misquoted".

'Creepy experience'

She told BBC News: "What I actually said was that travelling in a Tube train would be dreadful for me, listening to my own voice and seeing the haunted faces of commuters being subjected to me telling them to 'mind the gap'.

"I would find it quite an uncomfortable experience in the same way that when I call a company when I'm their on hold voice and it's me saying - please press 2 for accounts - it's a creepy experience to be honest." ''

LU would be better placed sorting out the service: in the last 2 weeks I have had about 3 journeys out of 30 which have been ok and 27 where they screwed up.
