Thanks for the responses so far. A little more info: I boarded the 15:52 from Clapham but en route to Woking the guard announced that it was running fast from Woking to Hilsea/Fratton (can’t recall which) So I got off at Woking and was delayed by 20/30 minutes there waiting for the next...

Hi there, I made a delay repay claim for last Tuesday when I was disrupted on my journey home, I had to enter this manually because it doesn’t appear on the journey planner (I believe this is because any change at Clapham includes 10 minutes cushioning. I make this journey every day and have...

Ah fantastic, thank you so much!

I'm looking to buy a house and one of my criteria is a decent train service into Waterloo. SWR's website at present understandably only appears to provide amended timetables for the service they're currently operating. Does anyone know where I might find the full service timetables online...
