There seems to be a growing trend for SWR to miss out stops even for relatively short delays.
Last week at Sunningdale the train I wanted got delayed at Staines for some reason, delayed for 7 minutes, then missed Sunningdale and a few other stops.
I noticed this morning that 2C22 Martins Heron to Waterloo, which I would have been catching today if the weather had not postponed my walk until tomorrow, left Reading 5 minutes late and then missed out Bracknell, Martins Heron and Sunningdale.
I know they get ongoing delays on the network but doing this for these sort of small delays seems to benefit only the train company and totally ignores passengers.
I remember a case a couple of years ago when it took me four separate trains to get to Clapham Junction when each successive train I got on had CLJ cancelled after I boarded....
(and to cap it, when I put in a delay repay claim for last week's delay the next train I did get on arrived at my destination one minute early so they only allowed 29 minutes worth...).
