Title: Loading for evening peak services out of Portsmouth Harbour?
Post by: xraydelta1 on February 18, 2016, 13:04:11
Hi All,

I'm new to posting on this forum, although have been lurking for some time. For my first post I have a question that I hope someone can help with...

Does anyone have info on how busy the evening peak services (16.23 & 17.23) departures from PMH are? I am considering a job that would require catching one of these and if they are sardine cans it would likely be a showstopper. Any info on the ease / hassle of daily commuting out of PMH would be great. Many thanks in advance!!

As those trains start at Portsmouth Harbour you shouldn't have a problem getting a seat provided you aren't rocking up at the last minute. The services will get progressively busier as they make their way to Southampton, Salisbury and Bath
