Relatively recently, southeastern have changed the way they did announcements.
Before it was as follows:
Welcome aboard this southeastern service to X calling at {list of stations}
The next station is X
We will shortly be arriving at X
Now it is:
This is X. Welcome aboard this southeastern service to Y. The next station is Z.
This train calls at {list of stations}. The next station is Z. + Additional waffle on station connections.
We will shortly be arriving at Z.
Also rather weirdly, on the outside it displays Coach 3 of 0.
What do you think about this change?
I personally prefer the old way however the new way conveys more and better information.
