Smooth service, comfortable train with good heating.
Panagiota Lili T.
The staff at Portsmouth ticket office were quite unfriendly and they said that buying tickets through agencies is very unreliable and there is no communication between yourselves and them.
Karen M.
Train was overcrowded from Waterloo. Platform staff shouting at passengers who were unaware of which carriages to board. Passengers standing throughout the carriages until Basingstoke. Nowhere for those of us travelling down from Heathrow (after arriving from Australia) to have our large luggage stowed. Not the best start to our holiday in England.
Annette C.

Andy T.
