Might have been handy to point that out from the outset! As it happens,
the story as available online does not capitalise overground even in the
headline so there is some hope.


If punters have to spot a capitalised or non-capitalised version of
the same word to make the distinction between totally different
railway routes, it demonstrates the silliness of the name.


Better write to FGW, then. Reading and Slough must be renamed forthwith!


Uh? Has someone chosen to call a new franchise Reading which is
totally separate from railway routes commonly known as reading?
