We're human and we don't like change but I was very confused to discover my train to South Wales departed from Platform 7 this morning. Off I trundled to where I thought Platform 7 was but lo and behold its only Platform 4. But with a different number.

And then the 09:11 Manchester train departed from the same platform.

Confused? You will be.

You missed all the previous correspondence about this in the Reading Stn thread?
