Sassafrass:It looks like they've modified the advice. However - it still doesn't make sense IMO. Why take a bus to Reading, transfer from the bus station to the train and then on to Bath when one can simply board an express coach at LHR and get off in central Bath.

If you have a smartphone or ipad, check out www.irelandtravelkit.com - they have an app for hidden gems of Ireland. It's created by the two folks who run www.irishfireside.com, and they have a house in Limerick. They summer in Ireland, winter in the US. Lots of things, including festivals, etc.
