Just missed the 6:39 service from Guildford to Waterloo so ended up on the 6:54 stopping service which runs fast to Woking. Starts from platform 4 to. Nice to head north from platform 4. Don't happen so often, save obviously this train.
This train had few people on it but mostly empty. So grateful this stopping service starts from Guildford as the next train to Woking isn't until 07:35.
I was going to miss the 06:58 to Weymouth but thanks to a late-running train to Haslemere, it was held up. So I wasn't 55 minutes late.
Train was'nt pack but not empty either.
Probably 5-10 people in the front coach of this 5 car train. Busier in other carriages.
Every table was taken but I recently got a table after Bournemouth.
Interestingly the train was 8-minutes late departing Woking but on time from Southampton. Shoes how much padding there is in the timetable.
I'm visiting a friend for a birthday BBQ but as I have a free train travel ticket, decided to visit Weymouth for breakfast first.
