Well I'll tell you my experience

twenty plus years ago I had to always give extra time for cancellations and late arrivals. Now I don't even look at indicator boards. Five routes go through Twickenham and one in particular is right in the button every day

there are far far more trains than before too . Sunday's used to be four an hour. Now it's ten. Also carriages per train have gone up to ten from usual four or eight

sunday trains used to be empty now they as busy as a just out of rush hour weekday train.

The rolling stock is in a different world to then .

Yes its it's expensive and that's an issue across uk. Too much I believe but no one will say opposite will they?

i use while swt network and frankly they are very good. Great western too and Virgin. Se trains are up to scratch but southern are not great. The London overground is perhaps the most remarkable success of all
