I wonder whether that is true of the run down to Portsmouth Harbour,
which in the days when I lived on the isle of Wight, always seemed
terribly slow.
These days I have to travel up to town from Dorset so I always take
the Yeovil Jct line, arriving early enough to take some tea at the
delightful station buffet
