Lovely, thank you. I hope that comes off - it'll be nice to have
another, hopefully less crowded, option for getting to Oxford.


Less crowded? Have you *seen* the Chiltern Line in the peaks?


Get your filthy little facts off my beautiful dream!

If this diversion is likely to be used again over the next few years, it
would be worth getting route clearence for HSTs along the main line through
Surbiton. Taking an hour to get to Woking instead of 25 minutes is not
funny. Even the stopper via Surbiton that departed 17 minutes later beat us
to Woking.

I suspect that the curvature of the main line platforms at Clapham
Junction may have something to do with it as well. The problem has to
be with the power cars because Wessex Electrics were basically HSTs
without the power cars.
