2 buses, 6 trains, 2 planes, 1 taxi, 1 car
That’s what a trip to Reading on business involves! Everything was pretty much on time – the biggest delay was waiting for the Airport bus from Edinburgh Airport back home!
6 trains you ask? To save the company 50% on the price of BA to Heathrow I ‘Queasy Jetted’ to Stansted. This does mean 1 train from Stansted to Liverpool Street, underground to Paddington, then back on regular train to Reading – and the same again heading home.
Did get a nice night and nosh in the Crowne Plaza, Reading though.
Meeting was delayed by an hour, the others were then 15 minutes late arriving so I had to leave after 1hour 15 minutes!
So to some up…
30mins to the airport
60mins waiting at the airport
75mins flying to Stansted
50mins train from Stansted to Liverpool St
30mins underground Liverpool St to Paddington
26mins train Paddington to Reading
5mins taxi to Crown Plaza
a grand total of 3 hours and 36 minutes on various forms of transport with 1hour (at least waiting around)
