I really need to know what this last train at 11:00, but outbound from
Central London at 9:30 claim, means.

That would mean last inbound at 9:00 on most lines, how is that 11:00?

I'd guess it meant that the last inbound was later than the last
outbound.

Of course my luck will depend upon whether HEx is running or not.
There's a perfectly usable HR connect at 10:29 which gives me an hour
to get from Padd to Vic on the bus. But if they are on strike again as
well [2] I'm kind of stuck unless my flights dead early and there isn't
a scrum at immigration

Yesterday the Border Agency systems broke, with queues of 90 minutes to
2 hrs reported at some airports.

so I can bus to Feltham.

And why, if it isn't actually the drivers that are on strike, are the
trains so sparse anyway?

It's one set of drivers, isn't it?
