One would think that the same would apply at Victoria then, but

...as also happens on the commuter platforms at Euston. The general
pattern in London termini seems to be that commuter trains leave
from the same platform whilst intercity trains vary; I'm not sure
why this is.

The longer distance trains from Victoria are also predictable. Not
to quite the same extent as the local stoppers, but still very much
predictable.

Aye, but the longest-distance Victoria trains are comparable in
journey time to the longest-distance London Midland trains ex-Euston,
not VWC.

Hmm, LM EUS-Crewe next year, but anyway

Victoria's longest (Littlehampton?) are longer than the Long Buckby
and beyond trains from EUS.


Wrong 'hampton - it must be Southampton via the Arun Valley and Chichester
that is the longest Victoria service?
