Title: Trains to London easter week - question about routing Post by: Mookiemoo on March 25, 2015, 17:58:41 Hi
during the week of the reading blockade does anyone know which if any are going from Exeter to Waterloo? Him indoors say drivers are treated like mushrooms and just knows some are but not which I need to get to Waterloo so would be easier than via Oxford to pad. It's Tuesday after Easter Monday ?

All details are on www.nationalrail.co.uk (http://www.nationalrail.co.uk) or any of the other journey planner or timetable database sites.

Title: Re: Trains to London easter week - question about routing Post by: BerkshireBugsy on March 26, 2015, 07:33:26 I've taken the Easter week off(From Easter Monday to Friday) because (a) I want to spent some time with the family but also (b) I want to avoid any train journeys which involve trying to get from Thatcham to alondon. From what I understand the signalling works "are not minor" and I have a feeling hey may overrun significantly. It could be said that I am being cynical but in my opinion it's very difficult to predict how long these will take. As (AFAIK) it's not been done before..
