8th March 2023
With the opening of Green Park Station this spring, the fast-growing work and live location at Green Park will be linked into Reading in six minutes, with easy connections to/from London on GWR and the Elizabeth Line services.
So what does Green Park have to offer?

The brand-new Green Park station is on the Reading-Basingstoke line. GWR will provide a half hourly service into Reading for local residents, employees at Green Park business park and fans attending matches at Reading Football Club. The station is located 10-minute walk from the business park and new residential areas. It will also have a transport interchange at the front of the station with six bus stops and a taxi rank as well as plenty of cycle parking.
