You can imagine the meeting - "You know how we pissed off all those music fans by closing the main railway line between London and Reading on the weekend of the Reading Festival last year? Well, it was such a success - let's do it again!" Yep, those crafty souls at First Great Western railways (presumably aided by the ever talented Network Rail) have decided the August Bank Holiday weekend would be just the weekend to close the railway line between Paddington and London. Which means another very tight squeeze on the occasional Reading trains that go from Waterloo. Oh joy.
