Still, there was one other option - do security clearing on departure right away. Maybe that was considered. Maybe not.

In which case you’re making a different, broader, argument - that the current level of security for the tunnel is inappropriate. And security goes beyond terrorist threats. There’s a bunch of rules regarding carrying gas, for example. Drop all of this because of two trains a day from Amsterdam...

Customs is an arrival process, always has been. Security screening is different. You’ll have seen the scale of the operation. High throughput scanners, swab analysis machines. And the space & option to add new/different machines as terrorist threats evolve.

Sounds like it would be moving the problem from one place to another. Does St Pancras currently support segregation of arrivals passengers - pre-cleared, and not-precleared? If not, work would need to be done there. And then in a few years, abandon all that, assuming that the most customer...

If we ignore a pretty much one off London Overground service, then this *might* be the top ranked by ratio... Weekdays 19:35 Littlehampton to Bognor Regis. 29 Minutes duration, 15 minutes of which is parked up at Barnham, along with a mere 30 seconds at Ford. At 53.5%, it is scheduled to spend...

Indeed :)

Which service spends the biggest proportion of its overall duration, on passenger stops?* * For the tie breaker, this is using scheduled timings rather than public timetable.

To the passenger, the current system appears to be incoherent. Compare and contrast with Tfl. One of the most repeated stories in the telling of the history of London Transport is Frank Pick's vision of creating a system that appeared coherent - from the logo on the vehicles, to the signs, to...

Hmm.. Have I missed something? I tried the obvious... Mallaig to {Anywhere on the Isle of Wight}... Got eight? (or are we discounting Ferry links?)
