I have noticed that many stations announce how many coaches there are on an incoming train. I have been told that it is so that intending passengers will know where they can stand on the platform. It can be very annoying when a service normally has four coaches (2x twin units) and the announcement says there will be only two coaches, you know you will be standing in a crush for the next hour! This happens regularly at Newton Abbot.
