London overground trains

It looks as though I may have to get an overground train to uni when I start in 2 weeks time. My question is:
Due to being partially sighted and not being fully awake for around 70% of the time, I struggle a lot with transport. On the buses and tube, there's announcements. Are there announcements on the overground trains, too?

I am not a train geek like JsT, I just work for them
Spot on Calvin! The old trains don't have any announcements but the new ones do and they are progressively coming more onboard, so within around 6 months they should all have announcements etc. Its definately clear which one your on when they turn up. In the mean time it may be best to count the stops etc.
Can i come round and 'mind your gap' ?
Oh. You know some trains don't stop at certain stations and just go thundering through. Is it true that if you stand by the edge you'll get sucked off ?
Rubberskin, your just filth. You're corrupting my mind.
Isn't like 70 % of the underground above ground anyway??
I was on a train in Holland and it was SUPPOSED to be going to Leiden, but went straight through (without announcing it) to Rotterdam!!!!
Back to the subject though.... Maybe ask the people around you on the train, find someone getting off when you do, and follow them off?

a picture explains a thousand words... including an exact phrase. "get sucked off"
