Default Curious extra station stops on Southern's Watford-Brighton service

"LarryLard" wrote in message
om...
As I understand it, Southern's Watford - Brighton services (via
Olympia and Clapham Junction) usual calling pattern southbound is

Harrow & Wealdstone, Wembley Central (sometimes), Olympia, Clapham
Junction, East Croydon, Gatwick Airport, Three Bridges, Haywards Heath
and Brighton


Add West Brompton and all stations from Haywards Heath to Brighton to that
list.

Idly browsing today, however, I found that the 1727 ex Watford - and
apparently *only* this service, all day! - additionally calls at
Streatham Common and Selhurst. Not at any of the other suburban
stations en route from Clapham Junction to East Croydon, mind - just
those two. Just that service.

Why could this be?


Perhaps there is a demand for stops there from the passengers leaving work
en route, or leaving Olympia and Earls Court.
