444001, SW 14.15 Portsmouth Harbour-London Waterloo (1P48, 4L) & 377130, SN 14.11 Portsmouth Harbour-London Victoria (1J41, RT), Portsmouth Harbour station
Back on the mainland at Portsmouth Harbour station, two operators'
services stand side-by-side ready to leave for London. To the left South Western Railway's 444001 will leave working the 1P48 14.15 to Waterloo whilst Southern's 377130 will depart first with the 1J41 14.11 to Victoria. The former SWR service takes just over an hour and a half to make the seventy-five mile journey whilst the latter travels eighty-five miles taking exactly two hours. It's also interesting to remember that both these companies have recently been blighted by appalling industrial relations that have greatly impacted the travelling public.
