(4) John Clifford's comments: I had intended to join the train at Slough and get off there in the evening. However, a person was hit by a train at Southall which prevented me getting to Slough. We left Chichester slightly late and despite this Fareham was reached early. At Fareham we waited as we were due to follow the 18.46 Havant - Eastleigh and also to let the 18.30 Southampton Central - Brighton cross our path. We continued onwards to the Bournemouth Main Line. There was a pathing stop at Shawford Up Jn to let the 18.30 Bournemouth - Didcot and the 17.45 Weymouth - London Waterloo pass. We followed these and lost some time. However the water stop at Basingstoke and the pathing stop at Reading were cut short. Nevertheless arrival time at Slough was 6 minutes late.
