Stuck on a tube platform. Which reminds me of the Chinese sound engineer I shared a lab with years ago. He had scale model of a tube station in the basement wired up with speakers and mics because the standard sound equations didn’t work for long spaces - they assumed a roughly square room. Through scale experiments, he worked out the equations for long spaces. And that is why announcements on tube platforms are now understandable instead of being an echoey mess.
