Oh yes it does - won't it reduce the loadings by having people miss connections, and increase the passenger angst and chance of passenger disturbances on the branch trains? The JourneyCheck wording written from an operational rather than from a passenger journey viewpoint? Edit to correct quoting

You’re saying it would have been more sensible to write “We apologise, but this will increase the likelihood of a passenger disturbance on branch line trains, but your train might well be quieter.”

Particularly disruptive missing Twyford, given it is Henley Royal Regatta this week.
