How hard would it be to insert a Basingstoke call on the XX:35 service towards Southampton, both for Basingstoke passengers from London (& Woking) and for anybody from Basingstoke wanting to travel towards Winchester.
(Also to provide a connection to the Salisbury stopper when it starts at Basingstoke, as currently the connection is the XX:20 Exeter train meaning Andover/Salisbury are effectively Hourly)
Spread the passenger loadings
I see that most XC trains stop at Winchester again. However, for those that don't, it's a 40 minute wait at Basingstoke in the down direction for a connection to Winchester. Enjoy!
