Now it seems like it's been a while since we've explored the transport network of the English capital, so we board the 18:58 Chiltern Railways service to London Marylebone, arriving at 19:44 on Wednesday evening.

Hold on a sec, this one doesn't appear to call at West Ruislip under the normal timetable..?
