Out of the Western, Central and Eastern divisions, what is your favourite and why? I would say the Central is mine, because of the lovely countryside on the way to Brighton, plus the complexity of the lines between Victoria and Redhill. Not to mention the great views of South London from the train on the embankment between Streatham Common and Norbury.
The Eastern wins hands down for the complex structure of its suburban lines, but looses outright due to its meandering and slow long distance services.
And finally, the Western division I’ve always found to be a little dull. Granted it’s best for stock variety, and use to have a plethora of longer distance destinations, but the approach to Waterloo lacks the drama of approaching Victoria, Charing Cross or London Bridge. Plus the country it passes through is relatively sedate, until it reaches the New Forest of course.
