I don't know the cost David, but at a guess....EXPENSIVE
It takes just under 20 mins from Decpark to the Crescent out-of-rush-
hour, and 30-45 mins during-normal-morning-rush-hour.
It can take 20-30 mins from Reading station to DECpark in-normal-rush-
hour.
This approximates at 50-75 mins
A train runs from Reading to Basingstoke....this might be a better bet,
or try and find someone who does the trip.
If you're coming to Reading from Heathrow, there's a bus that goes
from the airport direct to Basingstoke.

| Thanks for the advice. Do you know offhand the departure times
for the train from Reading station, say between 0800 and 0900 ?
What about the departure times for the return trip between 1700
and 1800 ?

I've done this once about a year ago, the price I paid then was
in the region of �20,

| Cost me �2.50 on a sunday evening to get to Brighton Hill Near (UCG), so you
can double that price for rush hour rates + traffic

| Trains between Reading and Basingstoke run every 30 minutes during peak
hours (10 minutes to and 20 minutes past the hour I think). The price
mentioned (2.50) in a previous reply is I assume the taxi fare from
Basingstoke Station to the Crescent (UCG).
Contact British Rail (if you can get through to them!) for more
information.
