On many of the lines out of London, the platforms have signs saying things like "4/6 car stopping point" going up to "10/12 car stopping point". The platform announcements will say things like "This train is made up of 12 carriages. Passengers for A, B and C should board the front 4 carriages. Passengers for X, Y and Z should board the rear 8 carriages." Not that the last part has any relevance, but it would be good to be given advance warning if a short train is about to arrive.
