The same applies to the slow trains from Pad to Oxford which usually
show terminating at Radley .

'Slow' trains from Southampton Central to Waterloo were always (*)
shown on the departure screens at So'ton as terminating at Surbiton.

(*) - This was mid to late eighties - I think that these days,
anything terminating at Waterloo is advertised as such, be it slow,
fast, or something in between...

It has been changing on and off for a few years. The xx55 stoppers come from
Poole under the Dec 2007 timetable, [replacing the Wareham - Brockenhurst
shuttle] and are advertised as Farnborough trains until Southampton, at
Southampton they were originally shown as Farnborough, but for the last 6
months or so have again become Waterloo 'stopping service'. This is clearly
show on the VDU listings with 'stopping service' inverse highlighted. It is
also included in the auto announcements, the three line PIS displays, and
the train side displays.

Another precaution is that the xx55s are planned to use P2, the following
xx00s which overtake at Eastleigh uses P1. The down equivalents to Poole
are not overtaken until Southampton, and appropriate announcements are made
during the 15 minute stand in P3.
