The Central line had the old announcements at Bank, Holborn, Notting Hill Gate, Shepherd's Bush and White City (pre 2018 ones). That was on a westbound train but on the eastbound train at the same stations the current announcements remained in place. I much prefer the old announcements than the ones they have now.
Also East Acton station is shut in the eastbound direction only from today until Christmas. Seems rather odd that trains are only not stopping in one direction, don't think I've seen that happen before (apart from Covent Garden but that was weekends only)

Just boarded a District Line train at Chiswick Park that’s going to Edgware Road. Not seen that before.

I used to catch a train at Liverpool Street that was advertised as a Hammersmith & City Line train to Edgware Road, on arrival it became a District Line train to Ealing Broadway.

One time in 2016 I was at Kings Cross where it even displayed on the departure screen that its a train going to Upminster and then I saw it was a Hammersmith and City line to Barking and then when it got to Aldgate East it switched to a District line to Upminster which I thought was really cool and impressive.

I think these odd workings occur as Circle/Hammersmith & City Line trains don't pass a heavy maintenance depot, so these workings allow trains to get to Ealing Common or Upminster for servicing and examinations.

Unfortunately these disappear in the new Working Timetable from Sunday. Friday will be the last 1044 Edgware Road (from Inner Circle) to Ealing Broadway
