I have to go to London for a conference, I played a blinder and got my train tickets all sorted, then the boss decided to hold a meeting that I have to attend in Bracknell on one of the days. So I need to get from Earls Court to Bracknell by 12.30 and I won't have access to my car, so any ideas for the best routes, is a taxi better than the tube? Which London station can I use for Bracknell? How much will it cost and more importantly how long will it take?

Thanks in advance....;)

    Trains from London to Bracknell leave from Waterloo Station and take about an hour. From Earls Court the best way of picking them up is to get a train from West Brompton to Clapham Junction and pick the train up there. Depending where you are in Earls Court West Brompton is an easy walk/short bus ride/one stop on the tube

    An anytime day return from West Brompton is £11.90. Off peak (after 0930) is just 10p cheaper. 1hr 15m to 1hr 30m is the normal overall journey time.
