Default South Western headcode 15

Does anyone have any idea when SW Headcode 15 Waterloo - Horsham was
last used (if ever)? Was there ever a service Waterloo -
Littlehampton/Bognor/Portsmouth via such a route?

My 1968(-ish) Ian Allan BR Headcodes gives 17 (not 15) for Waterloo-Horsham,
but nothing else routed via Horsham. The Oct. 1947 SR timetable has an hourly
Waterloo-Horsham taking about 1h20m, with a 10m wait at Dorking North to
allow a limited-stop London Bridge-Horsham to pass; on Sundays they did better
with no wait at Dorking. The summer 1962 BR(S) timetable is virtually the same
as 1947.
