On Sundays South Western Railway runs an hourly Waterloo to Kingston service via Brentford, Hounslow, Twickenham where it reverses to go to Strawberry Hill and finally Kingston. 62 minutes instead of 45 minutes via Richmond or only 28 minutes via Wimbledon.
Also on Sundays SWR runs an hourly Waterloo to Woking service via Brentford, Hounslow, Staines, Chertsey & Byfleet and New Haw. 1 hour 21 minutes instead of 35 minutes direct.
On Monday to Saturdays there is a half hourly Waterloo to Weybridge service via Brentford, Hounslow, Staines, Chertsey. 1 hour 17 minutes instead of 29 minutes direct.
On 29/04/2005 I caught the 07:19 Brighton train from Clapham Junction, nothing strange in that you may say, however it went via Eastleigh and was operated by South West Trains, it was an extended Basingstoke stopping service, it did not arrive at Brighton until 10:14. Luckily I had a SWR Gold Service Free Weekend ticket so the 3 hours did not cost anything.
