Ah, the Jubilee - there is nothing better then constant announcements
that "This train terminates at Stratford" when ALL trains terminate at

directions (especially for Northern), but why bug eastbound/southbound
passengers.




And you can see it on the platform and at the front of the train.
Kind of strange that there's no equivalent for buses, where there's
usually only what you see at the front, and yet a bus that stops short
results in you having to pay twice, whereas if your train terminates
at North Greenwich, you don't lose anything.
