You say that it's no use another TOC honouring your tickets if you
don't tell people, but then you say that no-one trusts an announcement
anyway.

It's all very well assuming everyone has a season ticket, but other
people can have issues with changing route.

And not just the extent to which a train-specific advance purchase
ticket might be inter-available on another TOC, at another time, with
other train-specific connections further on in the journey being made
without news of the initial disruption having spread that far.

What if it's around 4pm and St Pancras has seized up. By the time you
get to Kings Cross or Euston your ticket isn't valid in the evening peak
(or they have different rules for when off-peak is).
