Yes, it is ... just one train for stations west, and now a very much thinner London service than pre-pandemic.

This is the SWR» (South Western Railway - about) drastically pruned 'Emergency timetable' until 8th January. After then, there are plenty of through trains to Waterloo.

Yes - the main difference from Ash Vale is the number of short (Farnham) workings ... when you suggested Ash Vale, I did a "oops" and checked that one out too.
