You get this on the ECML too, with slow trains from Cambridge being
advertised as going to Finsbury Park and so on.

It also happens on the Central Line, with trains leaving Woodford for
Central London via Hainault being advertise as for "Hainault", until
they get to Roding Valley, when they suddenly become destined for

Ealing
Broadway (or wherever).
It is a bit weird, but i think it's a good idea.

As good as any, yes. * There's no ideal solution in these situations

and
each one will have pros and cons.


And if "it's lying" is really a common reaction, then change to
"Hainault & beyond" "Finsbury Park & beyond" and so forth which are
"true" but avoid providing a final but confusing destination.


Don't they do something like this at Heathrow T123 - "Cockfosters via
Central London" or something similar, since presumably many new
arrivals at Heathrow will never have heard of Cockfosters or Arnos
Grove :-P
