I suppose in hindsight it’s implied by the normal “via Chandlers Ford” diversions anyway, but I was thinking of the daily late evening services that run via the Botley line as well.

Any reason ? Guessing routes and commercial commissions are better?

Because he’s biased like me probs

The routes are really nice to be fair. Lots of trees and stuff. The downside (if you’d call it that?) are that there’s only really a couple of routes (Cardiff and Brighton - Brighton only being a couple a day).
