At about 07.40 on Sunday morning 20/07/08, I saw a westbound train
at Aldgate East. The destination on the front was "CIRCLE LINE".
There was no mention of it on the platform train describer. The PA
sounded something akin to: "This is a Circle Line service via
Liverpool Street".


Surely it should announce as H&C to Edgware Road or District to
Gloucester Road (is that possible?), as appropriate, until reaching
Liverpool Street/Tower Hill?


Then people going to Notting Hill Gate would get off at Mile End
unneccessarily...
