Reading Station interchange enhancements

The issue   

Reading station is already a major transport hub and is expected to become more so. However, travelling to and from the station by foot, bike or public transport is not always seen as a desirable option, and instead connections are made via car journeys

The scheme   

Enhancements to public transport in this include: 

• Upgraded bus stops giving real-time passenger information 
• Improved Active Travel to the station, including the connection between Reading Station and Christchurch Bridge 
• Secure cycle hubs 
• Signage and digital wayfinding to help visitors find their way to and from the station 

The outcome  

• Improved attractiveness of rail travel 
• Improved air quality 
• Reduction in cycle theft 
• Increased Active Travel 
• Increased use of multi-modal journeys
