This morning, I joined a westbound Circle Line train at King's Cross St.
Pancras.

What told you that it was a Circle Line train? I thought they were all
shown as "Hammersmith via Paddington" now.

As we arrived at Edgware Road (platform 4) a westbound train was
just leaving platform 3, so our driver announced that passengers for the
westbound Circle Line should cross the footbridge to platform 2. I knew
that he meant the other kind of westbound Circle Line train, i.e. one that
would reappear as my kind in about an hour, so I chose to ignore the
instruction. But what should he have said to have made it clearer?

What exactly did he say? The use of the term "westbound" to refer to
the line between Edgware Road and High Street Kensington is not very
helpful at all. "Anti-clockwise" or "via High Street Kensington" would
be a better description.
