Part of Jeffrey Archer's manifesto for Mayor of London was to campaign for this for London at least.

London in a different time zone from the south east? Fantastic!

"The next statiion is Rickmansworth. The local time is 3:16 pm. This is a Metropolitan Line train calling at all stations to Amersham."

And they say Mr Archer lacks imagination. I *never* would have thought of that.
