Title: Day out on a Kennet Day Ranger
Post by: bobm on March 14, 2011, 20:19:03
Had a day off so decided to invest in a Kennet Day Ranger. The leaflet stands at Reading are full of brochures advertising it at ^9.50 but in fact it is now ^12!  Never mind a good day out all the same until the last train. The 19:57 from Kintbury left 2 mins early!  It isn't helped by the fact that as it is an HST it fouls the crossing so if you are the village side you've no chance of catching it as the gates have to stay down until it has departed.

I've got a screen shot of the live departures board showing the early departure but not sure how to attach it. Might send it to FGW though!

Live Departure Boards confirm it left Kintbury 2 minutes early. That should not happen and I concur that you should inform FGW.

BTW, to upload photos there are two methods (from a PC):

1. Upload the picture to a photo-hosting site such as Flickr, ImageShack, Photobucket etc then copy and paste the unique url each photo is given into the body of your message placing it between the two sets of square bracketed img html using the 'Insert Image' button (the one under the Italic button).

2. Click on 'Additional Options' under the message window and upload the photo from your hard drive using 'Atach:' Click on the 'Browse...' button and locate the photo from your computer's hard drive. You may have to resize the image beforehand to keep it under 128 KB. This second option may be available from devices other than a PC, such as smartphones, tablets etc.
