It takes 2h7m; I took the train from Cardiff to London recently and was surprised how much slack there was in the timetable. We had to wait several minutes for time both at Swindon and Reading. Admittedly that was at a quiet time of day.Andrew Kleissnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425346921966365551.post-6495598408143892412016-11-01T23:24:11.453+00:002016-11-01T23:24:11.453+00:00At present the 387s are only being used on 8 peak ...At present the 387s are only being used on 8 peak hour services (4 in, 4 out) between Paddington and Hayes each day.

If only we all (and not least their own bosses) allowed them to show us what they can do.<br /><br />Don't be too hard on the police though. I think if I had to deal with what they (and the rail staff) have to deal with sometimes I'd be pretty nervous too.<br /><br />Don't worry about us nutters though. We're our own problem!smurfukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04812247601237248526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425346921966365551.post-47882020749765287322016-10-31T21:57:42.808+00:002016-10-31T21:57:42.808+00:00Superb Steve, another brilliant post.Superb Steve, another brilliant post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02247144878423801971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425346921966365551.post-56196195367653101492016-10-31T17:46:13.525+00:002016-10-31T17:46:13.525+00:00Excellent post and pangs of jealousy but one day R...Excellent post and pangs of jealousy but one day Rodney lol.
