Given that London is a major international tourist destination, and having noticed many tourists staring in bewilderment at the line diagrams in the trains, I think it's likely that many passengers do appreciate being told the next station name in advance. There are many examples of over-provision in announcements, but this isn't one of them. But if you're going somewhere, do you just get on a train and hope someone will announce where you've got to get off? Whenever I've been somewhere I've researched in a guide book or online to find the nearest station. It's rather like announcing where you can change for other lines, surely you'd plan your journey beforehand and work out yourself where you've got to change. Joe: you're a railwayman yourself, I believe, so of course you would carry out that research without a second thought, and so would I. But there are many, many people who visit London and find it all rather confusing, and are genuinely anxious about whether they are on the right train, where they have to change etc. -- Richard J.
