New through service - Gatwick Airport to London Paddington ?

« on: August 02, 2018, 07:49:52 »

Just checking if there are any engineering works that would hamper my and 5 family members trip to Warminster for ImberBus on Saturday 18th of this month and I noticed on the GWR^▸ website PDF file ;-

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday – The 0600 Gatwick Airport to London Paddington service will start from Redhill.
Please travel on an EARLIER train between Gatwick Airport and Redhill to connect with the train.

Through train Gatwick Airport - London Paddington. Really ? Would be interesting what routing would be used if true and used quickest route, (Gatwick Airport) - Redhill - Clapham Junction - Kensington Olympia - Acton Wells Junction - Acton Main Line - West Ealing - Greenford East Junction - Park Royal - London Paddington. Any others ?

Appears to be a mistake, the train is scheduled to start from Redhill on those days but terminates at Reading before heading back to Redhill
