Because so many of the announcements are content-free, and people begin

So no problem then?

Being told that "this train is for
Portsmouth Harbour" at every stop from Chichester to East Croydon (sic)
soon leads to my brain trying to filter out the announcements as
annoying background noise, like mobile phone conversations.

So because /you/ heard it in London, you reckon nobody else should
hear it when they get on?
