Travelling from Bath to London with GWR

Getting to Bath Spa station

After a great day out in Bath, it was time to get back to the hustle and bustle of London. From the city centre, we had a nice walk towards Bath Spa station. We arrived 10 minutes earlier, so we grabbed a bite before heading to the platform from which our train was due to depart.

Boarding the train

Having our digital tickets ready, we just showed them to the railway staff to get through the ticket gates. We boarded a GWR train and went to our seats – this time we managed to reserve two window seats with a table in the middle, so we had plenty of space to stretch out, relax and watch the world go by.

The journey

It took us less than an hour and a half to get from Bath to London. We stopped at Chippenham, Swindon, Didcot Parkway, and Reading before getting off at London Paddington station. We made use of the free WiFi available on board throughout the journey – it was quite good! – and kept our phones charged thanks to the power sockets we had at our seats.

Once we arrived, we hopped off and climbed down the stairs towards Paddington underground station entrance, we took the District Line and went home.
