Does anybody have a full list of S stock destinations available on the DVA? I'm assuming the same DVA is fitted to S7's and S8's?

I seem to remember a video from a while back with the DVA on an S8 announcing a Circle Line route.

Indeed, here is the video you're referring to:
The announcements will be practically identical to the C stock, although the video suggests that there will be a pause between the "This is..." and "This is a Circle line train to..."

Surprised you don't just have a list and can pick any destination!

Was just curious as the A stock doesn't have every possible destination. So how's this for a list: Met: Amersham Chesham Chalfont and Latimer Rickmansworth Watford Croxley Northwood Uxbridge Hillingdon Ruislip Rayners Lane Harrow on the Hill Wembley Park Finchley Road Baker Street Kings Cross Farringdon Moorgate Aldgate Someone else can do the H&C / Circle / District! |

I'm a little bit surprised that, coming from Barking (or what it thinks is Barking) the DVA for the Inner Rail Circle line doesn't go ahead and announce the destination as Hammersmith instead of via Liverpool Street and KXSP. Under a slightly different description, trains from east of Liverpool Street to Hammersmith via KXSP are pretty common. Is this just a case of wanting to be very (too?) regular about train descriptions? |

In case trains can't run to Hammersmith, the old circular service is restored; so I think the driver selected the orbital service. |

S stock has all those Met destinations. It doesn't have South Harrow. That's not a "degraded service" destination. Nor does it have Ickenham. Is that a really credible destination even for Engineering Works? I think not. |

But saying that a few years ago on the Pic during engineering works trains were terminating at Turnpike Lane with no service from there to Cockfosters and platforms closed at Wood Green for refurbishment. In a way nearly any stop is a credible destination. Let's say Uxbridge station had to be closed for whatever reason so trains had to reverse in the sidings there and terminate at Hillingdon. However if Hillingdon were shut as well the trains would terminate at Ickenham and proceed empty to the sidings at Uxbridge to reverse. Nothing to do with Ickenham being a potential reversing point as i put in my previous post, but a valid reason for any station to be a potential terminating point to avoid further confusion on the day I feel. |

Fewer onboard announcements would be my choice and the train operator to make announcements during unusual circumstances.
No DVA's during my early service years and I feel that there were less line closures than today.
C'est la vie!

Circle line trains don't run from Barking so surely the announcement in the video is inaccurate. It would be a Hammersmith & City Line train via Liverpool Street and Kings Cross St Pancras. Is this a way of phasing the H&C out? I hope not! |

Two other Met destinations: Liverpool Street, and Neasden. S stock has Liverpool Street available as destination for all SB Met routes and stopping patterns, also a single stop run from Aldgate, H&C in both directions and Circle in both directions. So bring on those Engineering Works weekends with odd services ;D It doesn't have Neasden though. Disruption and emergency use only. |

During engineering works the train is normally described to the full extent of the route rather than the station the train is being short tripped to. The reason for this is to prevent customers waiting on the platform for a non-existent train.

For example on weekends with nothing south of Harrow, the SB trains from the branches all show Harrow-on-the-Hill as the destination. |

LUL tend to promote closures much better than they used it. It would be very hard for me to pitch up at my local station and not know what's going on.
Of course not all stocks are able to show all the destinations so a little common sense is requied sometimes....

For example on weekends with nothing south of Harrow, the SB trains from the branches all show Harrow-on-the-Hill as the destination. A few years ago, the policy used to be for the train to display the full extent of the route, even if the train wasn't going that far due to engineering work. However, this policy ceased a good while back, with trains showing their actual destinations. |

Amersham or Chesham via Watford would be very useful. ;D

I did see an S8 at Harrow the other week going into the reversing siding with 'District Line' 'Dagenham East' displayed! Perhaps someone was having a bit of fun! ;D
