ISTR that the 168 has actually had all (1 word of) the spurious
vocabulary removed, not that it had a lot in the first place. The
original version said "Route...168 To... Hampstead Heath" (I rarely
use it in t'other direction) but the "Route" was soon dropped,
presumably as pointless and annoying.

....Can I give a similar request to all drivers and platform staff on
the sub-surface LUL lines that 10 mentions of minding the doors every
time there is a train there are not necessary, and that it would be
enough to provide information, once only, on where it was going
instead? The door bleeper signifies to a sufficient extent to get out
of the way, and anyone who is for whatever reason deliberately
obstructing a door isn't likely to move just because the generic
announcement has been made. Again, and again, and again.
