The platforms have permanent signs which clearly state where the
trains will be heading.

And when trains don't use the right platforms, as Walter Briscoe reports
elsewhere (Eastbound Circle on 2)?

They are painted (enamelled or whatever) signs. So will be inaccurate as
soon as there's disruption.

There was also a PA announcement at the
station, and one or two on the train (or possibly on the platform
at earlier stations) before it arrived.

Saying what (in gist)?

The one at Edgware Road was advertising the Circle Line train on
platform 2, the one on the train was warning that the Circle was now
"permanently" [1] teacupped, and that a change at ER was required for
people wanting to continue their CL journey.

[1] That's a very long time, even in politics.
