Would people use it instead of the fast train? Would they even use it
in place of the Wokingham train?


It's still around 20 minutes quicker and Twyford station is easier to
access than Wokingham. IIRC the car park at the latter takes about a
dozen cars.


268 according to

Where on earth do they put them all? It's a fairly constricted site :-)
Mind you it's around 20 years since I last ventured to that part of town.

quick shufti on Google Earth Ah, I see, they've extended the carpark

Interesting to see they have 80 cycle spaces, I wonder how well they are
used.
