    Ridiculous routes suggested by journey planners

    I got this last week when searching for Portsmouth Harbour to Waterloo on the 14th April, it suggested Havant-Waterloo walk to Waterloo East then to London Bridge and back to Waterloo on the tube. I've no idea why as I never need to enter via points. Steve

    Network Rail caught short on Wessex & Sussex?

    Havant to Gatwick Airport advice please.

    Hi, he doesn't tend to go to Southampton (mostly as you never know when the Southern service will stop short and he doesn't like alterations to his routine) and only goes to Portsmouth rarely but that's interesting to know.

    Havant to Southampton Central permitted routes?

    Hi, Wow, I know I said quick query but I didn't expect replies that quick! I thought Woking may have been allowable if there was a problem towards Eastleigh but I wouldn't have thought via Reading & Guildford would be valid. Thanks again Steve
