That distinction does not appear to be reflected in the PDF timetables on the FGW▸ (First Great Western) website for either the current or new timetables.

Yes it is.

That's what the FX is for.

Timetable number 7 is the appropriate Pad - Reading timetable.

Ahh, but timetable 7 is contradicted by timetables 4, 5 and 30. All of which show various West Country bound services (1006-1606, 1703, 1803) as being pick-up only at Reading. With no distinction made about only being applicable on Fridays.

4 has the lil "u" after it which means Pick up only..
So does 5
And finally so does 30.

That's the point I was making - timetable 4 makes no distinction between Friday and the rest of the week.

Indeed, so as far as 4 is concerned it's monday to friday pick up only, either way on a friday you can't do it.
