Liverpool Street is closed. But of course, there are still works at

I've been on the Hertford East trains at least four times in the last
week where the onboard announcements have sporadically announced that we
would "shortly be arriving at Shenfield". Is this some screw up with the
recorded announcements?

Could it be that some stock that usually works on the GEML, and has
GEML-oriented announcements on its tape, has been sent over to work on the
West Anglia during the blockade?

whole galaxy of multi colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and
also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw
ether and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all this for the trip,
but once you get locked in a serious drug collection, the tendency is
to push it as far as you can. -- Hunter S. Thompson, 'Fear and loathing
