Allay those Shock/Horror reactions, Reading West is NOT closed, merely that cross country trains don't stop there any more, hence neccessary reversal at Reading (ex-General). While we're at it, how about an electrification scheme that connected BOTH ENDS of Reading station, connecting with SWT routes to Bournemouth, and more importantly, Portsmouth; it used to be a piece of cake to travel between Portsmouth and Reading using a single train, both via Eastleigh AND Guildford (when through trains from a variety of places ran there). Now that WOULD be a welcome return of a useful service. That might open up a range of possibilities, although I fear Reading might get even more cluttered than it already is!
