‘Approaching Platform 2 is the 07:47 service to London WINTERLOO’: South West Trains spread Christmas cheer by changing names for the festive season.

Commuters received a surprise this week as they arrived at their stations to find their journey destinations distinctly merrier, thanks to South West Trains.

Journeyers found themselves en route to more festive destinations than usual, with London Winterloo (London Waterloo) , Eggnogham (Egham) and Raynesdeer Park (Raynes Park) receiving particular kudos from the public.
