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

No, but you're not far off. 6 is Bournemouth?
Yes ... and I find it shocking that there are no through trains to London! |

Yes ... and I find it shocking that there are no through trains to London! This is the SWR» drastically pruned 'Emergency timetable' until 8th January. After then, there are plenty of through trains to Waterloo. |

No, but you're not far off. Try Bentley (Hants) 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. |
