OVERVIEW: This morning you’re in charge of 1P34, the 10:45 Portsmouth Harbour to London Waterloo semi-fast via Guildford. With engineering works taking place along the West London and SWML routes this weekend, services have either been suspended or are subject to a reduced timetable. And with a lovely spell of sunshine forecast for the South of England, expect this service to be busier than usual heading into London today. (Date = 09/05/2026).
