Long time since we did one of these. Previous ones are here.

Mine would be "Mauve Line to Mars, next station stop, the moon. Please use all 1000 doors."

Other items:
Silver Line could cost millions more than expected (WaPo)

Well, it doesn't look like it's derailed yet ... not that I'd tell the truth if it did.

Former employee thank you. Why does the public not want to hear about safety from the people who know the inner workings best.

Don't touch the Johnson bar! It'll explode the fuel casing! And if the Wilson-Smith indicator gets above one sixty, just turn that little nut down there one quarter turn.
There's a little screwdriver there, just put it in and turn it one quarter. Now listen Billy, we're going into a tunnel don't stand up because the clearance is only four foot, uhh! (Navin hits his head on the tunnel) I'm o.k., I was protected by the
bill of my Engineer Fred cap! (the train slows to a stop) Thank's for pulling my cap down.
