Hi @SW_Help . Hope you are having a bearable evening. Any news on what’s happening with trains from Clapham to Godalming? - no announcements at Clapham Jnc and no staff to advise. Thx.
@swtrains_watch@AAidge2901@SW_Help When there are problems, SWR crews on the PMTH line often tell PAX the train they are on will run fast from Guildford and a train behind will stop at (their) intermediate stns . Frequently it turns out the next train isn’t stopping at all the intermediate stns & Gfd staff unaware

@ProfByron Bang on the money. And nice to see a trade article quoting more rigorous analysis than the standard UK trade press hyperbole, spouted by people banging on for money.

This was the league table - and the top goalscorers - in the country's top division. Just look at the clubs in the top half of the Premiership. Those times...
@SW_Help Thx. My issue wasn’t with the delays, but the miscommunication around them, the lack of coordinated comms between staff and the fact SWR left passengers for many intermediate stops on the Portsmouth line stranded, who with better info could have made other arrangements sooner.
@SW_Help you really need to sort your communications out. You’ve chucked half the passengers off the delayed 15.30 which is now running fast to Havant, telling them the train behind will go to all the intermediate stations. Except it doesn’t.
@SW_Help I was trying to get to Farncombe. Other people to Milford. The guard told us the next train at Guildford would stop at all intermediate stops that the 15.30 to Portsmouth was supposed to. It didn’t. So I had to buy an extra ticket to Godalming and walk, making me even later.

That reminds me, I must write an email to Keir Starmer about my recent inheritance from a Nigerian prince.
