apparently you can get the train to oxford then from oxford to paddington so it adds a bit of extra time to your journey, but not the end of the world
best be able to do this anyway, cus they never mentioned anything about engineering works when i booked tickets with chiltern,
last time i use them anyway they seem to p1ss me about every time i book with them
gonna go down to snow hill at 4 to see what my options are
There is a warning about engineering works on their website but when I click the link it suggests that they have engineering works planned every Saturday and Sunday until the middle of december.
I've stated using National express coaches for London games. Their seldom more than half full, very comfortable and not much slower than Chiltern (2 hrs 10 to Finchley Road)
I managed to get a return for 14 quid by using their funfares in advance.
checked at the station and we can still get the 08:22, changing at oxford then onto London Paddington and the same on the way back so it doesnt add too much to the journey
certainly not as bad as i thought it would be earlier
but still i aint using Chiltern again, even if it aint up to them when the engineering works go ahead, every time ive booked with them for the footy they have been a waste of space
