Station Message: Alert!

As part of the ongoing remodelling of Reading station Network Rail are carrying out improvement work until Summer 2015.

In the next few months platforms 1-3 & 7 -11 will be refurbished, with lengthened platforms to create room for longer trains, new platform canopies and better waiting room facilities. This August, platform 11 will enter into service as platform 7 is taken out of use temporarily to allow for upgrade works. Platform 7 will be in use again from September 2013.

Customers who are familiar with the current platform numbers will need to check notices, posters or ask a member of staff to ensure they are on the correct platform for their destination. Or alternatively contact our customer relations team on 08457 000 125.
