The sunday service and even the saturday service is truly awful. Trains are overcrowded and the amount of engineering works are more often than not which leaves the loop line as a diversion route and messes with the normal service badly.3 weeks ago it took 2 hours to get by SWT from Clapham JCN to Brentford.no staff, no signage. The only info was engineering in the Twickenham area.Far too vague. We ended up in Hounslow and no less than 14 trains passed through Brentford in both directions in this time.The organisation is simply amateur at weekends. Especially when one compares to the way London Overground manages its engineering works, with very clear and detailed signage and staff to help.A shame because other aspects on SWT are really good, the Air con Blue trains are comfortable, spacious and the air con and heating actually works and in the main the staff are quite civil and courteous.But do agree, bringing back the fast train would be a bigger boon than any of the numbnuts Golden mile suggestions costing £££££s by LBH.A 16 min connection to the city and link to Reading is the single most cost effective means to bring in business to Brentford. Along with an adequate car park built over the railway.
