Reminds me of the time when trains from Cambridge when destinations
included 'Liverpool' & 'Liverpool St' and 'Kings Cross' & 'Kings Lynn'
Used to confuse tourists...


Nowadays it's Lime St Liverpool (at those stations which still have
direct trains). And for some at least "London Kings Cross/London
Liverpool St".

When did they change the auto-announcers to use "train" rather than
"service"? While the humans still announce "Platform 3 is the East
Midlands Trains service to..." the computer now says "East Midlands
Trains train to..."
