I see on National Rail that the following solution is in place:

Quote
First Great Western passengers may use the following on reasonable routes:
South West Trains
Southern

Southern passengers may use the following on reasonable routes:
First Great Western
South West Trains

South West passengers may use the following on reasonable routes:
First Great Western
Southern

Looks like a bit of a 'circular reference' amongst the three TOCs affected?  The main problem is that there really isn't an easy alternative route round this, by train you'd have to involve at least Guildford;  and at this time of an afternoon spare buses must be at a premium.
