1  Journey by Journey / London to the Cotswolds / Re: Cotswold Line redoubling: 2008 - 2011 on: April 12, 2009, 12:06:43
Hi All,
Im new to this forum as I am about to start commuting to London from Hanborough daily from June onwards. Im not really looking forward to the commute but my employer is willing to pay First class season ticket so i hope this should make it more bearable.

I am likely to take the 6.40ish train from HAN to Paddington and have a few questions please.

1. Are there usually seats in First Class for this time?
2. Does it tend to run quite punctually?
3. With the works being undertaken, will trains still go to/from HAN or will there be some of the times when I have to drive to Oxford and then catch the train from there instead? I was kind of hoping the trains would just terminate at HAN or start from there during all the works... Smiley
4. As a first class passenger, do you get any complimentary food/drinks on that train?

Anyway, thanks for any information that anyone can provide, and perhaps I will be seeing some of you on the commute soon!

Doug
