Speaking of train announcements.
"The 1945 train for Bristol Temple Meads will depart from Platform 2. Calling at Reading, Didcot, Swindon, Chippingham, Bath Spa, and Bristol Temple Meads. Passengers for Oxford, change at Didcot."
(1974)

It just occurred to me that not everybody has heard (or has a copy of) Flanders and Swann's "Slow Train." If you haven't, we should arrange for this to happen.

So, I don't know the reference.
But I don't think the BTM train route has changed at all (I had to take it to go to Bath). :)

Except that Didcot station is now called Didcot Parkway, I think it's the same. It certainly was when I took the train from Paddington to Bath last.

Sure, that sounds good.

I'll be down this week and next.

I'll be away from Saturday morning through Thursday morning, paying my respects to the estimable Ms. Hazel, but I shall be back by the weekend, obviously. Also, I would imagine that [info]lisa_bee or [info]hellpossum has it, if you're here and curious while I'm still away.
