Trust me, we've noticed. 4tph was always ambitious on the stretch

made things even worse.

It's hard to see why the money was not spent on extra carriages and a
reversion to a reliable 3tph service.

That's a pity. What is the cause of delays on this section - unreliable
rolling stock,signalling block length, track capacity constraints,
competition with competing cross London freight trains etc? Or is this
a repeat of "Operation Princess" - building in too much interdependent
complexity?
