Was waiting for the 16:12 to Basingstoke today and noticed a delayed train
to Hounslow - stopping at Nine Elms Junction, West London Junction and
Richmond then Hounslow.

As I am 'merely' a daily commuter on SW Trains I am puzzled - was this a
one off or something they didn't mean to show on the regular departure
board.

Thanks.

I was at Hampton Court yesterday and one of the platform indicators
was saying, "Stand back, the next train does not call at this
station." Which was strange as Hampton Court is a terminus.
Eventually the leaf clearing unit arrived, the crew changed ends and
it set off again. Surely that counts as the train "calling" at the
station. Especially as it was actually spraying the rails.
