    I believe all trains from Paddington call at Rdg (but not all at Didcot), so no problem with that.

    You didn't mention that there were 4 of you.

    If you pick a train which happens to stop at Tilehurst, split there instead of Reading. £32.00.

    Probably slower though, especially as you can pick from more trains if splitting at Reading.

    I looked at the Tilehurst option, but it involves changing at Reading to get a train that stops at Tilehurst, and get to Didcot 23 minutes later. Not worth the extra saving.

    Thanks to everyone for the advice.

    Not surprised. I had second thought and nearly deleted my post, and should have done if I'd actually looked up times
