One more seen today... https://twitter.com/IsabelOakeshott/status/428477116636610560

Looks a bit dangerous. Hope those doors are locked, or there's nothing on the other side either.

From the getreading article:

Quote
South West Trains service to London Waterloo.

Those stops in full: Winnersh Triangle, Winnersh, Earley, Wokingham, Bracknell, Martins Heron, Ascot, Sunningdale, Longcross (if you are really unlucky), Virginia Water, Egham, Staines, Feltham, Hounslow, Twickenham, Richmond, Clapham Junction and London Waterloo (where this train terminates).

They've made a slightly silly mistake there (although understandable in there are a few Waterloo-Reading trains that run semi-fast via. the Hounslow loop).

Unless it's just put in to annoy pedants like me.
