Hi Saints Fans! :)

 

Does anyone travel from the jewel of the south to Reading for work? How good are the trains?

 

I used to commute to London and got sick to death of it but I've got a very nice offer of work in Reading now. Obviously it's a much quicker train journey and my perception is it's probably less prone to **** ups than the London mainline (#mess).

 

Am I right?

Trains from Basingstoke to Reading are pretty much every 25-30mins , some might even start in Southampton. But it’s a regular busy service, you just have to watch for odd ones that stop at Reading West then go West, Pretty much every train from Southampton to London stops at Basingstoke.

Thanks John Boy.

 

Yes, there are plenty of trains direct from Soton. I was more interested in whether they actually tend to run on time and have the right number of coaches etc!

 

As it's a cross country service heading all the way up t'north then I'm guessing it's probably more reliable than the ****e I used to get into Waterloo.
