What would happen if more people turned up than could be carried on
the bus? Would some simply be left behind, with a rather long wait
for the next bus, or would taxis be provided for them? Sounds like
this could start to get even more expensive; maybe that's why they
don't want people using this farce, er service.


I guess you'd just be told to take the next service to Wandsworth Road:
Train to Paddington, Underground to Victoria, then train to WWR.

If that means you get to Wandsworth Road later, then you'd probably have
to claim for a delayed journey to XC in the normal way.
