I sent off my D1 form plus medical form to the DVLA 3 months ago. They wrote to my specialist, who replied weeks ago but the latest letter from the DVLA says they haven't 'completed their investigations' - 'but will advise me within the next 12 weeks'.
Thankfully I don't have to wait for them to get their act together for me to drive - it is a full year since my last fit and I have proof of applying (their letter) for the reinstatement of my licence.
There are many trips I will still make by train and bus - I am entitled to a Disabled Rail Card (1/3 off for me and my 'carer' - whoever is with me!) and being so near the station (8min) it would be daft not to use it.
Reading Council are about to build a new pedestrian/cycle bridge from Christchurch Meadows over the river through Norman Place to the new station, so it will be even nearer.http://www.reading.gov.uk/council/Consultations/proposal-new-pedestrian-cycle-bridge-across-thames/
