There is another London, Reading, Salisbury, back via Southampton,Winchester, via Basingstoke to Reading and London on Wed 21st June 2023
I'm desperately trying to find the times of the return part (Basingstoke to Reading) but struggling to find it anywhare or to decode realtimetrains entries
Estimate 18:00-19:00 +/- 1 hour
If anyone could help I would be most greatful
I just missed it the last two times (last autumn)
