Southwest Trains:  Severe weather timetable for Monday 21 January

It appears that SWT will be running their very limited "severe weather timetable" again on Monday, same as last Friday.  Chiswick and other Hounslow loop stations will be served by diverting trains on the Waterloo-Windsor route, running every half-hour, peak and off-peak.The timetable is available at http://www.southwesttrains.co.uk/uploads/table9sx-readingwindsorkingston.pdfThis information is from the SWT website, www.southwesttrains.co.uk, which doesn’t make it very clear that Hounslow loop stations are affected by changes, including no Waterloo to Waterloo via Hounslow services.  Hope this helps.  Please don’t shoot the messenger!CCF
