No, the automated announcement advising people to alight for the
museum has been in use continually since it closed, proving that not
only do these new announcements constitute over-provision (announcing
every station name in advance, despite everybody coping perfectly well
without LU doing so before), but that one also ends up less informed
by listening to them than by not!
