They have said all trains from south wales are dry, however there are many trains through reading to london that do not go through south wales

Thanks Wiz.

It looks like train availability is starting to get limited. 09.59 is not available so we are on the slightly later train.

I think it's because the 9.59 is the train that comes from Swansea.

Isn't that weekday only? Usually train companies run Sunday services on bank holidays, although FGW might have enhanced it for the final, in which case fair play to them.

Trains from Reading to Padders about every 7 minutes on the website, looks like normal weekday service.

I would imagine most Reading fans will be held outside the station and then funnelled in when apropriate by the police. I think 10am-11am will be the peak period.

FGW (and Thames Trains before them) have run a Saturday service on BH's for years.

Presumably Chiltern Railways aren't running "dry trains"? Can't see anything on their website....

I doubt it - they didn't for the League Cup final, which I'd think would be much higher risk.
