I am hoping to travel on this service from PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains) tomorrow (Wednesday).  I know it is crazily busy on a Friday, but is that the case all week, or is it lighter at other times?  I am travelling PAD-TVP.

The time I have done it from Westbury normally fall in half term, its been standing room only when boarding at Westbury so I presume it will be fairly hectic most of the week. Perhaps not so bad as Fridays.

Otherwise, as I believe you are staff, i'm sure the kind chappie doing the doors would allow you in First Class  Cheesy

Also, any tips on knowing which platform it will go off?  As in the past I have just stood staring at the CIS▸ (Customer Information System) until the platform shows up and by then 30,000 people somehow seemed to have got through the gateline!
