Im bloody worried now aswell  :?
What route were you taking Were you going:
Swindon - Reading - Clapham - Selhurst/Thornton Heath
Or
Swindon - Paddington - Junction - Selhurst/Thornton Heath?
Im taking the second one but from Chippenham so does it make a difference to me anyway?

We had a bus for Gliingham instead of a train if I remeber correctly?

The last bit I remember was climbing on with a beer and the driver asking us not to drink on the bus  :D
