CHARLTON

[Simon Pieman]

I rang up national rail to ask about this and they said it should be fine

Do they serve food? Is it any good or should I go to Borough Market and get a Roast Beef and Horseraddish bap?! 

Yes they do pub food upstairs. Can't say I've ever tried any so can't comment on the quality.

Funny that as train diversions are supposed to be occurring until the 3rd (to include the 3rd). Diverted via Banbury meaning Swindon - Paddington has been taking 2.23 mins instead of 1 hour.

I'd seriously check the journey again before buying a ticket but seeing as it's FGW, half the literature floating around is probably wrong!

Major engineering work will be taking place in the Reading area over the Christmas and New Year Period.
The main effects of the engineering are that Reading station will be closed completely on Monday 27, Tuesday 28, Wednesday 29 and Thursday 30 December (there are no train services on Saturday 25 or Sunday 26 December during the Christmas shutdown). Also, the following routes will be closed at various times between Monday 27 December and Tuesday 4 January:
Between Maidenhead and Didcot Parkway via Reading
Between Reading and Basingstoke via Mortimer
Between Reading and Theale
Between Reading and Wokingham
Between Twyford and Henley-on-Thames
Between London Paddington and Greenford (this allows for the diversion of other First Great Western services)

I've read all that Si. Trains up to today were 2-3hrs saccording to national rail, then after that they are all down as 1hr. As you so subtly pointed out above, that information may well not be true - that's why I'm leaving 7 hours before the game!

Remember its a 5.05 kick off

Remember its a 5.05 kick off

I'm well aware of that, thanks Leefer!

[Luci]

Glad they're back up and running, although I don't have much faith in FGW in general!

Enjoy the game!

[leefer]

We are going to win it.

[THE FLASH]

Current form we will piss it!

[suttonred]

We will be leaving Ashford at 12-what time you getting there?

Trains normal Sunday service my end, so pulling in to LB at 12.38, should be in the Porter at 12.45.

[Simon Pieman]

That's going to be a long pre-match session

[suttonred]

Nah only be about three hours.

[Crispy]

Leaving Lavington at 12, 2 seats going free.

Not bothering with this now, still got a fridge full of beer from NYE to get through so will watch it on the box
