SWR at Boxhill

[TT-ONR-NRN]

I could swear that almost all South Western Railway services to Dorking were booked to pass Boxhill & Westhumble without stopping, save a few in peaks, but now they all stop.

When did this change happen and why, please?

Started from the May 2019 timetable change, the SWR PR didn‘t give a specific reason. Maybe it just came from a previous franchise comsultation, as suggested in the preamble to this:

On 19 May 2019, South Western Railway will be introducing changes to its timetable, adding over 300 train services per week across the network.
Many of these service enhancements are based on consultations that were undertaken with stakeholders. We are very pleased to see these improvements come to fruition.

Interesting thanks. I’m sure they rarely stopped before.

Previously it was peak, Sunday and Bank Holiday calls.
