I believe one late night train runs for "route learning" purposes


0042 Waterloo to Strawberry Hill as I posted yesterday.


Also 0454 Basingstoke - Waterloo in the opposite direction.


Oh yes! How did I miss that in table 152? Ah! It's not in it. I forgot
to check table 155 and anyway it's not so obvious there which trains
might go that way.


Any train that doesn't stop at Earlsfield is a possible and there are
a great many.


On table 155, I agree. So many that I overlooked the possibility. On 152
they are much easier to spot.

I wasn't aware however that the Woking stoppers now call at
Earlsfield outside the peak.


Nor me. I'm more of a Windsor Lines man.

So peak commuters may still be surprised by their train taking this
route


I'm not sure the 0454 counts as "peak commuters"!
