Gender-neutral announcements on London Tube

20 Jul, 2017

Staff making announcements on London's underground system have been told to drop the term "Ladies and gentlemen" in favour of more inclusive greetings such as "Good morning everyone".
The move, which has been welcomed by LGBT campaigners, is designed to swap "outdated" gender-specific terms in an effort to reach out to people who are gender non-binary.
The initiative has the support of the capital's mayor Sadiq Khan and all pre-recorded announcements by Transport for London (TfL) are expected to be updated accordingly.
