Title: Unnecessary announcements
Post by: Reading General on April 01, 2019, 21:20:24
After using Reading (General) station for the first time in a few months a couple of days ago I had a 25 minute wait between trains where I noticed the ridiculous amount of times the "YOUR (really?) transport for london" travel update announcement occurs. Is anybody listening to this? Is it of any use as it's rather vague about whats going on there? Any delay suggested surely would have changed by the time you get to london and what sort of person going to london doesn't look these things up anyway before they go? Is this just Tfl letting people know there coming (one day) perhaps? I find the underground annoying because of these constant announcements, and now I can't escape it. Expect to hear it at Birmingham Curzon Street when HS2 opens once every four minutes.

Just a rant
Cheers

I sympathise.

Perhaps they might consider Network Rail of GWR updates that relate to services from the relevant station instead (or at least as often as the TfL ones).
