The, er, Reading to Waterloo line! It's a slow stopper for commuters. Goes to Staines, Wokingham, Bracknell. Plus Feltham, where I am shortly to depart to in order to tick off its Wetherspoons.

Oh you're one of those All upmarket on the hoity-toity line!

Dunno where you are in Berks but I assume your journey back from Padd towards Reading will either be the Burger King Express AKA the BKE if you're lucky or the Vomit Comet if you aren't. I know both well but the Vomit Comet is always the worst. Like the guy who'd been at a wedding reception and barfed out of the open window - into the direction of travel at 60+mph. He ended-up with a face like a pebble-dashed council house. The guy in the seat behind who caught some chunky blowback was remarkably restrained, all told. Then there was the one where all the toilets were out of order so a guy stood by the doors and proceeded to urinate onto the platform at each stop between door open and close; incredible bladder control as it took him four stops to fully empty, I was genuinely impressed. Enjoy the gig.

Interesting to see how chop and change this is - most turbulent top 10 I can recall. It's going to get bloody.

I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling kids etc. That'll teach me not to try and knock this out 3 minutes before a meeting.
