Matches in DBpedia 2016-04 for { ?s ?p "The Waterloo to Reading Line is a National Rail mainly suburban electric railway line between London Waterloo station and Reading railway station, running westwards from Central London to Reading, in central Berkshire. Its passenger operation is by South West Trains (SWT) which also manage its stations.The Waterloo to Reading line is the core of a group of lines and branches heading generally westwards from Waterloo, providing predominantly passenger services into London. All of the branches and connecting lines have direct services into a dedicated group of platforms at Waterloo, so most of the services using the line do not run the whole length of the line. After leaving Waterloo, the line runs parallel to the South West Main Line before diverging at Clapham Junction and heading westwards. Within Greater London, the Hounslow Loop Line diverges at Barnes and reconnects again near Feltham, whilst the Kingston Loop Line diverges at Twickenham to join up with the South West Main Line at New Malden. At Staines, the original route carries onto Windsor, whilst the 1853 route to Reading diverges towards Egham. At Virginia Water, the Chertsey Branch Line provides another connection to the South West Main Line whilst at Ascot, the Ascot to Guildford Line heads southwards towards Aldershot and Guildford. At Wokingham, the line joins the North Downs Line and carries on into Reading, to terminate in platforms 4, 5 and 6. The line also sees some freight services and occasional special charters, which usually use the connecting line at Reading to join the Great Western Main Line.Due the predominantly suburban nature of the line, services between Reading and Waterloo are relatively slow compared to the mainline from Reading to Paddington. The line is predominantly used for commuter traffic into London with most of the traffic being generated by the intermediate stations. To ease over-crowding, future plans are to extend services from 8-coach trains to 10-coach trains and there have been calls to change the service patterns to provide some additional and faster services, cutting out some of the intermediate stops."@en }
