it means there is a bomb or fire alert

Sorry but TFL this makes me panic a little more then if you said - "can a fire official please go to the control room" I'm thinking everyone in the being held a hostage in the control room and your calling for Inspector Gadget!!

They had that today again at euston. I think it's some kind of alarm for the staff without getting everyone in the station in a panic.

Nice torture test.

It actually means a fire alarm system has been activated. Had there been a fire this introductory announcement for staff would have changed to an evacuation alarm. It is tested regualrly. That is why you may hear it a lot. The idea is to let station staff know of an activation so that preperations can be made for an evacuation if and when required. Simple !

it means there's fire, it's the code ''inspector sands'', and it means the fire is in the control room

Why does Euston get that announcement more than any other London terminal?

Heard it twice personally, and seen four youtube videos with it.

Fire in the station controll room - Mr Gravel followed by a name = there has been a bomb explosion at the name!

i've heard about this, it supposedly played continuously in the underground during the july 2005 bombings

If you had gone into Boots, you would have heard the fire alarm sounder making an intermittent beep...
