Often when I'm on a service through Haymarket, the guard will take the initiative to announce connecting services to 'X, Y, Z'. I know this is common, but I find it interesting with the range of destinations announced at times - particularly those longer distance.
On Transpennine Express I've heard Aberdeen, Inverness, Perth, Dundee, Stirling, Falkirk and Glasgow Queen Street mentioned. On ScotRail, also on approach to Haymarket, I've heard Birmingham New Street and Manchester announced.
Any other examples of this - maybe also as an aside, what has been the furthest announced destination or the most obscure/unusual mentions, for services to another station not served by the operator of the train you're on?
Wonder if Plymouth services have a guard on one of the locals eager to announce connecting services to Edinburgh or Glasgow!?
