Ah, the Jubilee - there is nothing better then constant announcements
that "This train terminates at Stratford" when ALL trains terminate at
Stratford.


They don't all teminate at Straford; some of them terminate at
Stanmore, so the announcments are useful to infrequent travelers
who might like to be reassured that they got on a train going the
right way.

Even if you pretend that noone could make a mistake like that, some
trains eastbound will be terminated at West Ham or other locations if
they are turned short.

Sometimes, if one finds oneself on a train that isn't going all the
way, the choice of station to wait for the next train can make a
difference to the ease of the interchange, particularly for those
with heavy luggage - for example, if an Eastbound trains is turned
short at North Greenwich, you are probably better waiting at Canary
Wharf for the next train to Stratford as that'll avoid 2 flights
of stairs at Greenwich.
