Title: Changing onto the Reading train at Basingstoke
Post by: grahame on October 15, 2007, 16:45:06
"Change here for Bramley, Mortimer and Reading" announces the conductor of the train from London as we pull into Basingstoke ... but as we draw to a halt I see the Thames Turbo for Reading train already leaving the station.  Hmm.   Is this a connection that is actually used?  Does it always miss like that?

There every half hour, so, really, it's got to miss something!
