Default Euston London Overground announcements
I swear the fellow doing the announcements at Euston keeps talking
about the "London Underground service to Watford Junction". I could be
mistaken given the similarity of the names and the poor quality of the
speakers, but I thought LO were big on pushing the LO brand as
separate from both NR and the Underground.

They do seem to say "London Nngground" very indistinctly, and I expect
that this is perceived as "Underground" because it's the expression
that everyone is used to. Or maybe they are hedging their bets.

It is "Overground" they are saying, but only recognise it as such as I know
it's London Overground to Watford
Have to admit it's very hard to make out. Similar announcements at
Blackhorse Road are much clearer

Surely that would have it's own problems, what with the Paris Metro
taking its name from the Metropolitan line?
