Do we know if Network Rail has considered converting Waterloo back
into a thru station? One could see Hampton Court and Kingston Loop
trains running thru to the Dartford loop. Meanwhile operation of
Charing Cross would be simplified. There would also be economies of
fleet size and reduction in platform utilization.

No thank you. Southeastern has enough delays of its own without importing
more from South West Trains.

Anyway, the spur would probably be haunted by the ghost of South Eastern
Railway director Captain Warren, who was struck and killed by a train when
he was walking on the spur.
