    New longer trains will be introduced on South Western Railway's network next month.

    The company says the new Class 707's will provide an extra 100 carriages - increasing capacity on the busiest routes.

    They will primarily run on the Waterloo, Windsor, Weybridge and Hounslow routes but other lines will also benefit; for example, some late afternoon and evening services from Waterloo to Basingstoke will get extra carriages.

    South Western Railway says the move has been made possible by Network Rail's work in August to extend platforms and increase capacity at Waterloo.
