Who this suits

Commuters and business travellers

Reading Station is one of the busiest interchanges outside London, with direct GWR services to London Paddington in around 25 minutes and Elizabeth line connections through central London. We regularly collect business travellers making onward connections, commuters with early starts, and anyone arriving with luggage who'd rather not manage a taxi rank.

Need a transfer at the other end too? See our airport transfer pages if your station connection is part of a longer airport journey.
