I'm still not sure whether I did the right thing to get a slow train
from waterloo or whether I should have held out for a Basingstoke
service.


You should have got a Reading service and changed there!


To be honest, I can't remember if there were any Reading services
listed - even trains that don't run through Surbiton were messed up,
presumably due to other trains being in the wrong place.

I'm not sure a slow train to Reading - Basingstoke - back to Fleet
would have been any quicker. They were turning round some West of
England services at basingstoke, and advising people to travel via
Woking, not Reading.

But it's one to remember for future use - my ticket isn't valid via
Reading, so not one I'd normally think of.
