Post by Noringgoes »

With the numbers we now have going are going to be rammed, does anyone know (maybe works for them) would SWR be aware and add extra carriges?

Trains don't run on a Sunday any more do they? Every time I go past a local station at a weekend there's buses ferrying everyone around.

Trains do run on a Sunday, but engineering works tend to take place at the weekend to minimise midweek disruption for commuters.
There is however a limited service on a Sunday as trains travel less frequently.

SWR Help page told me via twitter earlier no extra trains or carriages were planned . A 4 carriage SWR train holds between 1000 and 1300 people depending on what stock it is

I think you will find extra trains/carriages/seats are in the planning stage

I'm getting on at Alton at either 9.15 or 10.15, so am at least guaranteed a seat! Looking forward to seeing the hordes as we pull into on Platform 1 at Aldershot!!
