DVA changes (no more Camden Market)

I think you're probably right. Similarly, on the Piccadilly line they removed "Alight here for Harrods" at Knightsbridge.

On the Victoria line they removed "Alight here for University College Hospital" at Warren Street back in 2007/8 after I wrote in and complained at how the DVA was becoming information overload. A year or so later, "Exit here for the British Library" disappeared at King's Cross St. Pancras. However, both these announcements have made a return on the 2009 stock but only when set to 'tourist mode'.

Interestingly, it used to say "Madame Tussauds and the Planetarium" on the Circle & Hammersmith but the latter part was dropped.

The best thing they have stopped announcing is bloody Chavski Football Club at West Brompton Noticed it today. I mean LO serve at least 7 football clubs within walking distances to their stations and this was the only team to have ever got a mention. Noted as well that Westfield Shopping centre has also been dropped at Shepherds Bush.

What is strange is that at Highbury it announces change here for London Overground services to New Cross, which of course you cant because No New Cross services go to H&I.

Westbound on NLL yesterday, I noted "change for ... West Croydon" etc preceding H&I, not Canonbury where it ought to be.

Oh they most certainly did, when you go up and down the line at least 8 times a day in both directions you became aware ofeverything that is said.

Is dropping Westfield brand new? I heard it when I alighted at this very station on Wednesday night! Although not to go to Westfield... Travelling up and down the Watford DC the DVAs are fine but it does seem elsewhere as if they're not really fine tuned yet, which means they end up sounding shabby and almost defeat their point. Come to think of it, I can't now think to myself whether or not they mention Clapham Junction when passing through Willesden on the DC; 99% of the time I'm north of there. I noted one occasion of EXCEPTIONAL confusion on the part of the DVAs but that was on the recent Camden Road-South Hampstead services. Still, can it be THAT hard to make it work correctly? On those services they were actually confusing customers when displaying the unusual-but-correct information, but the situation was compounded by 'Hackney Wick' being announced as the next station whilst trundling along the down DC!

I believe they must have a tourist mode as sometimes the 'exits' are played and sometimes they're not. The 1973 and D78 (and no doubt the S) stocks have the 'commuter' and 'tourist' modes.

I believe it's due to the time of day. Peak time gets "commuter" mode, other times get "tourist" mode.
