1  All across the Great Western territory / Fare's Fair / Re: Luton Airport Parkway to Cardiff Central - 2 changes, same arrival/depart times on: March 27, 2012, 22:43:30
Cheers for that tip.

Just to really ease my mind, if the arrival tim for the LAP to St Pancras is followed, will i be able to get from St Pancras to my train at Paddington in 53 minutes without sprinting? Cheesy

I arrive at St pancras at 17:52, and my Cardiff train departs Paddington at 18:45

So that seems to be ok then.

I'd call it something a little more harsh than a 'quirk', myself Cheesy

Thanks for the reassurance. I was envisaging an argument with a conductor on a later Cardiff train.

3  All across the Great Western territory / Fare's Fair / Luton Airport Parkway to Cardiff Central - 2 changes, same arrival/depart times on: March 27, 2012, 18:26:05
I recently booked a return from Luton Airport parkway to Cardiff Central using FGWs (First Great Western) online bokking system.

AFTER I had completed the transaction, I received an email with details of my trip.

2 changes, fair enough. LAP to St Pancras, then a tube to paddington, then my train to Cardiff.

The trouble is, the arrival time for my LAP-StPancras train is the exact same time as my tube departure to paddignton, which arrives there at the exact time my Cardiff train departs.

Any advice?
