FWIW, I used Beaconsfield. It met all the requirements: Easy access from the M40, a frequent service and plenty of parking. The only fly in the ointment was the fact that the card terminal didn't seem to like my credit card, despite it having plenty of available credit, so I had to go and get some cash from a nearby ATM before I could travel. I had seriously considered using one of the Cotswold Line stations (such as Moreton-in-Marsh) as that would have been convenient for my starting point, but in the end I was glad I didn't. I ended up staying in London far longer than expected, mainly due to the fact that the meeting was shifted to a new location and I took the opportunity to stay behind afterwards for a bit of sightseeing - which wouldn't have been possible if I'd needed to catch a specific train on an infrequent schedule in order to get back at a reasonable time. The service to/from Beaconsfield, by contrast, is frequent enough to be pretty much turn-up-and-go all day, so I could just set off when I felt like it rather than trying to match my movements to a timetable. You're welcome. ;-) |
