Sadly I'm also familiar with the generally dreadful rail replacement services between Reading and Paddington. What on earth are they doing on that stretch of line?<BR/><BR/>One of my favourite experiences was having the tickets posted to me for a journey from Blackwater to Bristol (because Blackwater doesn't have any ticket machines) and back and the tickets not arriving in time. I had to then buy a ticket from Blackwater to Reading on the train and explain the situation very quickly to the people at Reading so that they could sort me out before my connecting train left, which was timed to run very close to the first one arriving.
