Come prepared....its windy and pretty desolate. Marginally more hospitable than the dark side of the moon

Be very nice to the guards if you want the toilet. You have to leave the ticket barriers and go diuresis before coming back up!

Taking your phone on the train from Bristol Parkway? Make sure you leave the train with it, too. Keep an eye out and join in with #TheTactics on Twitter. Read more

If you're changing trains and don't have loads of time, you can smoke in the car park just past the ticket barriers on way out.

Ask for a split ticket to Paddington on peak morning trains stopping at didcot and your ticket is at least a third cheaper

The coffee from the shop downstairs is much better than upstairs

I don't understand how this can be called a train station. Grim.

Platforms can be a bit exposed in rough weather

If you enjoy a good flapjack, steer clear of the ones here. Solid, stale and sickly.

Platform 1 is yet to be built, but will be opposite platform 2 when it arrives.

Have your ticket ready if running for a train! The ticket barriers are on the footbridge.

Scream like a frothing maniac at the next person on the fast track ticket machine for whom time seems to have no meaning

Watch out for taxi surcharges from here. More than once a driver has tried to charge me for a suitcase when I've just had a small bag (which is not chargeable).

smallish, boring

The upstairs waiting room isn't freezing cold.

There is nothing good about train stations haha. They treat you like shit if you have an off peak ticket instead of a super off peak.. Logic? There is none.

Don't trust the vending machine on platform 2 - it's a liar and a cheat ...
Mark JohnsonSeptember 24, 2011
Strange station!
Vix DavisJuly 12, 2011
What a boring train station. Go to temple means if possible.
