Last night Southern continued to ruin their reputation and cancelled the last train between Cosham and Havant (and further beyond, presumably Littlehampton or Brighton) even though there was a large music event with a relatively high attendance right next to Cosham station.
If there was an SWT ECS movement from PMH to FTN carriage sidings at a similar time and all variables were good (route knowledge, engineering works, working hours etc) would it have been possible to run a shuttle journey from Fareham to Havant?
I appreciate its extra outlay for SWT with no return so they probably wouldn't have wanted to, as well as the fact that some trains passing through the area were subject to heavy fouling according to a guard's Twitter feed, but I'm just wanting to know how flexible the railway is when all the variables are good.
