If the London-Road Train to Guildford (16:16) was 5-8 minutes earlier (about 16:08), many more school children could get connections quicker and easier and get home to have more time and energy to study and work.
Southwest Trains have not taken into account how many school children take this train and how beneficial it would be if they could move this train forward. As the days are short and very cold, it is dangerous for school children as young as 11 to be stuck in the dark and cold conditions.
