I'm not a regular user of the Overground, but made a couple of trips this week and was surprised by the inconsistency of the SDO (selective door opening) announcements.
At some stations the recorded announcement said that the doors in the last coach wouldn't open, and one could leave only from the fourth coach. So far so good. But at other stations, there was an initial announcement saying the rearmost set of doors would not open, and this was followed by the standard announcement as above. In fact the initial announcement turned out to be accurate and the second one wrong.
All very confusing for a non-regular traveller! Does anyone know why this is, and if they are going to fix it?
