An unusual statement considering the recent extensive travelogue of Bristol, Bath and the Back of Beyond, so continuing our visits to the South-East, noting the 10-minite minimum connection time at this station, we next board the 0644 Southeastern service to High Brooms that arrives there at 0738 on Tuesday morning.

I mean I wouldn't say that was extensive in comparison to how often we've frequented here....

It's showing as STP for this week to reflect this. But under normal circumstances it doesn't.
On RTT I usually find I have to go quite a fair few weeks in advance to find an unaltered day on the timetable.
