Title: Commute from Kintbury / Thatcham to Paddington Post by: Anthony W on April 17, 2009, 09:25:34 Hello all,
I'm moving out of East London back to the West and am currently looking at renting houses on the London - Kennet Valley line specifically around Kintbury/Hungerford and Thatcham areas. I'm used to busy trains given I use the Tube every day right now but just wondered what peoples experience was of the 6.17 am from Kintbury passing through Thatcham at 0630 and arriving in theory at Paddington at 0723 I'm also considering the Twyford area but assume that any train after Reading towards London will be packed out ? Many thanks and see you on the train soon :) Regards Anthony Title: Re: Commute from Kintbury / Thatcham to Paddington Post by: Chris from Nailsea on April 17, 2009, 17:58:59 Hello, Anthony W, and welcome to the Coffee Shop forum! :D
As I often say, when I'm faced with a question about a particular line on which I never travel: I don't know the answer, but I bet there are other members here who will be able to help! ;) Edit note: ... and I see that several of our members have indeed offered a variety of experiences, on your other topic, at http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=4549.msg39587#msg39587 ;) Title: Re: Commute from Kintbury / Thatcham to Paddington Post by: Anthony W on May 05, 2009, 13:01:11 Hello all ... we've now moved to Thatcham and the 0630 to Paddington this morning was a very pleasant experience - I hope it's like that every day ! Not sure what the return journey will be like - I suspect a bit busier !
Thanks for your comments on this and on the other post I made about travelling in from Twyford.
