The Services section seems very muddled, the first sentence "Services from the station to destinations are at half-hourly intervals during peak hours dropping to an hourly service thereafter" being contradicted by the second paragraph which says that there is a half-hourly off-peak service to and from London Waterloo. The final paragraph doesn't make any sense at all, looks like original research by someone trying to make an obscure point, is unreferenced and introduces the concept of the "intermittent station". I believe the intention was to write "intermediate station" but making the substitution wouldn't make the meaning any clearer. 83.104.249.240 (talk) 17:15, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well done. But there's a whole lot of speculation, non-encyclopaedic comment, and unsourced leaps of faith remaining. Turner's article about the horses concedes the guesswork and speculation, but doesn't go as far as the body of the article, which nevertheless cites him in support. Medicus was obviously Mr Angry -- you can read the letter today, and it's entertaining -- but the assertion that horses were used for two years doesn't appear anywhere. "The trains" were horse drawn? Well, Medicus's train was, and a couple of others he may have taken on previous days were, he says. [Incidentally he is astounded that this happened on the day he wrote his angry letter, even though he claims it had happened to him before.]
Whatever, it's a big jump to say that "the trains" [in general, over a long period] were horse drawn. Afterbrunel (talk) 07:48, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
