f) Cost of Heathrow->Reading is £22 return. Buses leave every 20 minutes. £14.50 if you have a rail card. g) Cost of Reading->Central Londons £15 return. Less with rail card. £19.50 if you include a travel card as well.
Both of which are more expensive than the equivelant from Feltham - 2 x £2 bus fares and one £7.50 travel card (£11.50 versus £41.50).
£30 is a not inconsiderable amount. And the St Giles is actually a good hotel. So unless reading manages to be just as good and at least £30 cheaper, it's a worse deal.
