Hi,
I grew up in Brookwood and used to commute into Clapham Junction from my parents house to work. It used to take about 25 mins on a direct train.
I've just been on National Rail because I'm thiinking of moving back out there, but now rush hour journey times are showing up as just over an hour. That's more than double off-peak times?!
Does anyone know why it this is? Is it to do with engineering works or is it a permenant alteration to the routes? I am not sure I can put up with commuting for an hour each way over a distance that should take 1/2 hour.
I don't understand why they would put the slower routes on during rush hour, it doesnt make sense?!
If anyone has any info it would be much appreciated. Just need to know whether it is a permenant change.
Thanks!
