Network rail & Clapham Junction
It's a saturday, I find myself needing to get to Selhurst from
Norbiton (don't ask!). Off I go to nationalrail.co.uk and type
in my to & from, and get sent on a tortuous route involving
Thameslink and a change at Wimbledon & Streatham.
In order to get the service via Clapham, had to type in
two separate journeys.
On questioning the nice people over at National Rail, I was
told that 'going via Clapham Junction is an invalid route.' -
direct quote.
Eh? Surely it's the *obvious* route! It was also 10 mins quicker
than their Streatham Strangeness and faster than farting
about on the tram.
Any ideas what's wrong with Clapham? (as a changeover, I
mean!)
Cheers, John
