And why were they announcing yesterday that the Waterloo and City Line
was closed as part of the announcements for closures due to engineering
works? It's closed every Sunday, surely?

Because it was closed Sat Sun and Mon (engineering, normal no service,
engineering) and that sort of simple message is much easier for
''normals'' to understand.

I think "dumbed down" is the expression you were looking for
