Did you intentionally post about the 9:27 at 9:27 Come on the railway uses the 24 hour clock so he was posting about the 09:27 at 21:27 not 09:27! |

So I paid too much to travel on that train earlier in the week
Happy for you to send me photo of ticket or a receipt and I'll sort the difference for you. Thanks Ollie but the ticket machine ate it on my return to Maidenhead.. I may still have the receipt but will check.. I think it's worth me buying a ticket at the ticket office for that train going forward rather than the ticket machine/online |

Great news - so that is 100 spaces at Maidenhead that we didn't have last week(??). That will help alleviate the pressure on shoppenhangers, particularly since a lot of heavy plant units are being stored there overnight at the moment.

I think it was there last week too but I've been ill so may have missed when the new Silco drive opened. It's bigger than it's predecessor but not sure it will take the extra cars that won't fit in Shoppenhangers anymore.. It was full up when I picked my car up before the rush hour had started today anyway.

Hope you're feeling better Jo.
Well shoppenhangers is full by 7.15 everyday so any extra capacity will be much appreciated. Even a small increase would enable me to get a slightly later, less overcrowded, train. At present train choices are controlled by the car park which is an odd state of affairs.

Thanks NickB.. I think Silco drive won't be full before 8 or later (depending on the day of the week). When I parked about 7am yesterday there was only a handful of cars in there.. Depending on what time you travel I've discovered the 7.13 (as long as it's it's usual 5 car length) has lots of seat choices at Maidenhead, fills up at Slough but generally everyone has a seat from there too, and gets into Paddington (platform 1) very shortly after the non-stop 7.17 departure.

I got back to my car tonight to a note on the windscreen saying that Silco drive car park is "temporarily" closing from the 6th January (it doesn't say if that's the start or the end of the 6th) for up to a year.. They're restoring the spaces they took away in Shoppenhangers and setting up a new temporary car park in Braywick park which is apparently a 12 minute walk from the station (so not really a station car park!) and also the wrong side of Maidenhead to get to for anyone currently using Silco drive...

Braywick Park is a fair trek - won't be much fun when it starts raining. I'm at Maidenhead tomorrow morning so will try to find out more. |

I'm assuming it's not something that has been planned for a long time since they installed a ticket machine and signs in the "new" Silco drive car park that hasn't really been in use that long since we moved from the old one..

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

I wouldn't worry about how long it takes on foot, just remember to add the extra 30+ minutes each way while you sit in solid traffic along Windsor Road/Braywick Road at rush hour! PS. if you are walking and its raining, beware of the flooded roads as you will get soaked when people speed through them. And keep your wits about you for the moron that drives along the pavement to avoid having to go up to the roundabout in the morning ....  |
