This would be my preference too - although probably no quicker than the bus on paper, for me it would depend on whether the bus was more or less nonstop, and the day of the week - i.e. if the M4 motorway had any weekend closures in place.
The timing is awkward - timed to depart Reading almost the same time as the Bristol service comes in so you generally have to wait for the next one. And traffic in and out of Reading can be utterly atrocious.
If you are happy with buses then take the National Express direct service. RailAir is a waste of time and money.
Personally I switched from NX to train to PAD and back out on EL two years ago and haven't looked back. They even hiked the price of the coaches up so it's not that much more on the train (off peak).
