See link below. http://www.southwesttrains.co.uk/SWTrains/News/_romseylink.htmLooking through this timetable , there is no doubt that it provides a fantastic improvement in the train service provided to Dean and Mottisfont & Dunbridge stations (which were , prior to December 2006 , served by the Swindon - Southampton service) in terms of the number of services , the frequency , and the timings. Considering that their train service , according to the original Greater Western franchise specification and draft FGW December 2006 timetable , was set to all but disappear , passengers and campaigners from that part of the world can feel truly proud of what they have acheived. |

That's a great service - well done, everyone.
Having a look through the timetable, I couldn't help noticing some FGW services that stood out as running very close in timing to others following closely in front or behind, and characterised by no trolley and no seat reservations. In particular ...
from Salisbury at 07:36 (close to 07:48). 11:39 (close to 11:32), 13:59 (close to 13:53) and 20:11 ( not far from 19:53)
from Southampton at 0824 (08:38), 12:26 (12:38), 18:38 (18:40) and 21:20 (21:10).
As far as I can see these services make no attional stops over and above the one they're close to - usually less even thoough they take almost the same time.
Explanation, anyone?
