The 0835 from FH to LB, which doesn't stop at HOP, annoys me more. It's ALWAYS trundling behind the 0829. Average journey time is about 20 minutes. Always. If six minutes is an insufficient gap, timetable it differently!

Getting the 0829 would make sense, were it not for the fact that this generally sits outside LB for longer than any other train known to man, then goes into Platform 15, from where it takes forever to get to anywhere, particularly with a train generally arriving at Platform 13 at the same time. and consequently it is generally easier to have the extra five minutes in bed and get the 0835.

The 0755 is too early, and if I miss it it leaves too big a gap to the 0811, which in any case is always too overcrowded by the time it gets to FH, the 0821 is always late...

It's only 18 months ago when I moved here that this service was much much better.
