Does anyone know what the signalling issue was tonight at Waterloo?
The 18.15 Waterloo to Portsmouth, started 23 minutes late at Guildford and 18.32 Waterloo to Basingstoke started at Surbiton 7 minutes late. It was still showing as being on time about 3 minutes before it should have left Surbiton.
Interesting the 18.18 to Haslemere only left Waterloo 5 minutes late but was 12 minutes late by the time it reached Guildford. It was then held for a further 10 minutes to allow the late running 18.15 and late running 18.30 to go in front. The advantages of having a main line which doesn't run so many trains. Couldn't imagine a train being held at Surbiton for 10 minutes to let another through.
What made it unusual tonight was that most other trains before and after seemed to be departing places like Woking with only 3-4 minute delays. The 18.23 to Basingstoke, which left Surbiton 7 minutes late, seemed to lose sometime at West London Junction so I don't know if there were problems there.
