They do something similar with the Cambridge slows at KX, giving
"Foxton" as the destination (last station before Cambridge).


Which I long suspected was the case...but it only ever came up during
a service disruption, when I decided to get confirmation from a member
of staff before jumping aboard the only train going north for the
foreseeable future. I noticed they do it on the GWML as well, with
slow London-bound services advertising as terminating at Ealing
Broadway instead of Paddington. Makes sense....as long as people know
it's an advisory of destination and not where the train actually
terminates.


I believe they reveal the real destination at all the other stations
it stops at.
