I am requesting that you provide me with a full list of every London Underground station that has automated announcements on the platforms announcing the next trains. Whilst all of your stations have screens showing the next train i notice that many of your stations still do not have any automated announcements that play on the platforms announcing the next trains so i am hoping to get a full list of all of the stations that do. You can provide me with the list in any format. Thank you for your help.
