I recently returned from the UK and while there we used the Victoria-East Grinstead service mid day.
I believe it was a 12 carriage formation and happily for us operates every 30 minutes.
Quite convenient.
However in both directions I was reminded of a line from an old song, 15 cars and 15 restless riders.
I realize DfT specifies service levels, but curious why 2 tph is considered necessary.
I unearthed my 1986 BR timetable, and sure enough 1 tph in that time mid day.
