How can it be described as a tube like service? It's the London Overground that happened to replace the Southern Railway service and the former East London Line till New Cross.

"Transport bosses apologised to the residents but said the announcements were needed following the completion of the £1billion line extension in May. A spokesman said: "Not all passengers are familiar with the station, which now offers a Tube-like service".

"It is important that announcements can be heard over incoming and outgoing trains."
