New route on West London Line ;-)

[CheapAndNerdy]

According to the station announcement at Kensington Olympia trains heading for Clapham Junction now call at "West Brompton, Acton Central and Clapham Junction".

I missed that service on Saturday

...over the speakers, on the screens, or on a sign?

The announcements seem to think that Imperial Wharf station is called Acton Central, the most obvious reason for this is a file naming mix-up. If you want it changed, send an email to LO as the chances of a staff member noticing and reporting it are pretty low!

That's a pretty low opinion of the staff! Here's an even lower one, based on the reaction of Northern Spirit (or whatever particular incarnation of the local operator it was then) guards to complete nonsense announcements on board class 333s when new (e.g. on a train boarded at Saltaire, "welcome to the Ilkley train, calling at Bingley, Ben Rhydding, Burley in Wharfedale.....). The chances of staff noticing are high enough, but the chances of them reporting it are low.

Not so my dear friend, me and several others have raised this issue on our STUD days, even someone form Customer Services was in attendance and said they are aware of it and know. That was 6 weeks ago, so it is not high on the importance stakes of London Overground to sort out.

It is the Public Address system, not the Passenger Information Screens.

Wow, LO staff must be much more observant and perseverant than those of a certain other TOC!

Shame it's not considered a high priority issue when surely it's a very quick fix. :roll:
