Peanut's reply of 3 June 2004 was wrong in respect of No.1 and correct in respect of No.2.
No. 1 "He should have been going" is correct in the following example:
"When Mr. Fung telephoned
From Buenos Aires
He told his head office that he was
About to board an aeroplane
Bound for London,Ontario
In Canada;
But he should have been
Going to London, England."
The tense being used in "should have been" is the Compound Form of the Future Perfect Tense of the verb "To Go" (using the Present Participle, "Going").
