I see South Western Railway not running the late evening services on the Portsmouth Direct
Prior to lockdown there were trains at: 22:30, 23:00, 23:30 and 23:45
During lockdown they removed the 23:00, 23:30 and 23:45. Obviously the Monday only 0:50 isn't running either. It similar for services south of Basingstoke.
I appricate there are local later stopping services to Guildford but these take an hour or more and have no loos on board.
I still don't know what enables GTR to run a Saturday service but not SWR? Is there more damand on GTR, for example, late into the evening?
I see the Cobham stoppers from Guildford are going to be half hourly again. That is welcomed, although alas I have less need to travel on them. The services via Bookham will still be hourly.
From Surbtion where won't be a 17:39 fast or a 18:40 fast to Woking, nor a 18:09 semi-fast but I see more of the Alton and Basingstoke trains will be stopping at Surbtion. In normal times after the 16:41 to Alton leaves there isn't a service until 20:11.
In the summer COVID-19 timetable it will be:16:41, 17:11, 18:11, 18:42, 19:11, 19:42 and 20:11. That's an additional 5 services to Alton! Such a shame I won't be in Surbtion much, if at all, to make use of them.
