    Well Slough is an exception as the half hourly Oxford service called on the Mains and the Windsor Bay is accessed off the DM platform.

    This reminds us that the passengers spawning system should be improved to avoid having people waiting on platforms where no train stops... (among other things)

    Haven't got access to a timetable from then but I'm sure it was 1 Oxford and 1 Hereford/Worcester (via Oxford obviously) back then.
    Once they dropped the Worcester/Hereford stop, then it became half-hourly Oxfords.
    Then that went and we got the 387s on Didcot services. Sadly, Oxford services these days are only on a Sunday.

    That aside, given how many suicides there were at Slough over the years, it was a surprise it took so long to put the fencing up.
    One of my neighbours, she lost her youngest son there over a decade ago. To this day - she still doesn't know why he did it. :(

    I've been asking DTG for years to remove the people at Neilston waiting on a platform that is for set-down only!
    WCML South has people waiting on platforms which never see trains stop.

    Exactly. But not only that, you have for example Cheddington which is teeming with people in the middle of the off-peak hours... I wonder to see how it will be at Polesworth in the upcoming Trent Valley...
