South Western Railway (SWR) provides commuter and regional services across London and the south-west of England. It runs from London Waterloo along the South West Main Line, the Portsmouth Direct Line, among other regional lines. Though SWR often receives criticism for delays and cancellations, its trains feature plenty of seating, so you’re less likely to be standing at peak times.

TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"If you’re travelling with bags, it’s worth noting that most South Western Railway trains don’t have dedicated luggage areas. You’ll have to make do with overhead racks, underseat space and floor space; just make sure you’re not blocking aisles, doorways or wheelchair spaces. Consider upgrading to First Class for some extra space while prices start at £5 on weekends."
"If you’re travelling to or from London Waterloo, SWR’s main hub, make sure to allow some extra time for navigating the station, especially at peak times. Waterloo is the UK’s largest station and one of the busiest, so allow an extra 10 to 15 minutes if you’re trying to catch the Tube downstairs or a connecting train."
