Is this quite common in some areas I wonder?
I noticed on my running board for the 6th March, as I'm doing Andover - Woking rail, that my schedule is Whitchurch, Overton, Basingstoke, Guildford and Woking. The '159' service that I'm covering wouldn't normally do Guildford, and there isn't a direct train service normally between Basingstoke and Guildford.
I also happened to Notice on Realtimetrains today that Southampton- New Milton are doing Brockenhurst, Lymington Town, Lymington Pier and New Milton. You wouldn't be able to get a direct service from Southampton to Lymington on the train, nor would you be able to do Lymington to New Milton direct.
I'll be interested to see what other examples there are if you know of any please do share!
Note I am on about direct rail replacement services between two points which by train you would need to change trains at least once
