I don't understand this. Are people really too ****ing stupid to
understand announcements like "passengers for Some Station must
travel in the front four carriages"? Cos those work just fine
elsewhere on the rail network.
With ungangwayed 4-car units it's not always obvious which one you
are in without getting out and having a look ...

Hence all the "this is coach [pause] 5 [pause] of [pause] 8"
announcements.

None of the (splitting) trains I've been on have that sort of
announcement.

A standard Southern message on I think all 377s not just those that
split. (I forget if 455s have this as a screen message)

The 455s are way behind the 377s, especially the Southern ones.
