Most people knew (know) what Benediction is and Father gets a goodish response for his Saturday Holy Hour while Evening Prayer is remarkably similar in structure to Morning Prayer so we have enough who knew what to expect. I think that the problem is that, for all we have people of all shapes and sizes pressing for Mass or Service of the Word (with or without Holy Communion) every day, we are no longer able to get them to bestir themselves twice on the same day. So Vespers (or Evening Prayer)+Benediction at 4 or 4.30pm on a Sunday is a non-starter. On a similar tack there are usually four or five "different" faces at evening Mass on a Thursday (can't make morning since they're at work obviously) but would they bother to turn up for Rosary (with or without Benediction) or Stations or anything else? I suspect they wouldn't see the point.
