Exactly, I always get the 07:30 to London Liverpool Street (get off at Stratford) the announcer says the following: The next train to depart from platform three is the 07:30 (short pause) One service to London Liverpool Street. My Mum who doesn't normally notice that kind of thing said it was confusing as it sounded like 07:31 instead of 07:30 (although she took a diffrent train at a later time on a diffrent day).c@t wrote:At Cambridge station the other week, listening to the dreadfully cheery announcer.
Unfortunately, the new 'One' brand does not appear to have been successfully implemented.
With announcements running to the format of "the [time] [operator] to [destination]..."
So it sounds like "the 10.30 one service to Manchester...", which makes you think it is "The 10.31 service to Manchester".
It gets really annoying after a while, honestly...
WAGN is where you will get the problem as the bit taken over by National express is known as One West Anglia, where as the other part is still known as WAGN.
