Southern was unable to introduce a planned new service between Wandsworth Road and Ealing Broadway in May after Network Rail refused to grant access rights. Southern had planned to run a return service on Monday to Friday, calling at Kensington Olympia and Shepherd's Bush, as required by the franchise agreement. The service would have kept a passenger train operating over various chords in London which used to be used by Crosscountry services but which have not gone through the statutory closure procedure since the latter services were withdrawn.
