And there was a direct service to Portsmouth & Southsea, which called at my home station (Bedhampton). Now they call at every stop along the line to Portsmouth Harbour… EXCEPT Bedhampton
Indeed. I figured that out quickly, because Anne said 'Brighton via Hove', whereas its now 'Brighton via Worthing', or 'Brighton via Littlehampton', depending on whether the train will actually stop at Littlehampton.
@@Parallel395 SWT ran a lot out of Brighton until the mid-late 2000s. Most services only ran as far as Salisbury but occasionally some went to Exeter and one a day even ran all the way through to Paignton.
