You'd think that the London travel newsroom would have some vague idea about transport in London. Would you? Why? Do you think it is a requirement for people who mention London in the things they read out to be Londoners? Could be interesting for the shipping forecast... I'd expect whoever organises the shipping forecast to know something about shipping and weather, As far as the broadcast is concerned you don't have to know about either. It is a set formula that hasn't been changed in 70 years or more.[1] The hard bit is actually reading it! The organisation is done by the Met Office. By analogy it is not unreasonable for the BBC to expect whover supplies the rail information to apply the same dilligence to their reports.
