Second paragraph of Services section
[edit]I have removed this paragraph
- In common with the 16 hourly off-peak closer commuter services to/from London Waterloo calling at Earlsfield railway station and all intermittent London stations all managed by South West Trains,Namely:
- 4tph to Guildford (2 via Cobham and 2 via Epsom) (ie excluding the fastest Portsmouth service)
- 2tph to Chessington South
- 2tph to Dorking
- 2tph to Hampton Court
- 2tph to Shepperton
- 2tph to Woking
- 2tph to Waterloo on thh Kingston Loop
- trains must stop at every intermittent station. There are no fast services available to mid distance destinations, which gives overcapacity towards the suburban terminus (Chessington) due to the longer journey time and overcrowding during the inner city phase of journeys. "10-car SWT hangs in balance". Modern Railways (London): p. 52. December 2010. This situation can be contrasted to some other routes to destinations just outside Greater London where there are fewer stops at stations nearer to central London. e.g. New Southern Railway's Tonbridge, Reigate and East Grinstead services which until leaving London only call at Clapham Junction and at East Croydon.

- I would like to know how the article benefits from this information? Why pick out Earlsfield? Do you mean "intermediate" stations? Why is a frequency list helpful? Please tell us before replacing. Britmax (talk) 18:02, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
