For those who already spend too much time sitting at the level crossings at Mortlake or North Sheen, it seems that the wait times are only going to get worse. South Western Railway (SWR) is changing its timetable so that many of the additional scheduled fast trains won’t stop at Richmond or Twickenham. There was no consultation on the impact this would have on level crossings wait times (and possibly increased pollution levels) or the adverse effect of having fewer trains stopping at major local stations.
