You may prefer to avoid traffic stress by using one of Reading’s Park and Ride Services. Parking is included in most tickets, but you need to register your car using the machines available at the site. Don’t forget if you have a concessionary bus pass you may still need to pay a nominal fee for parking, so it’s best to check at each site.
Mereoak Park and Ride
Mereoak Park & Ride opened in 2015 and is found on Mereoak Lane, Grazeley, just off the A33 by Junction 11 on the M4. Running approximately every 20 minutes, buses will get you into Reading in around 20 minutes. And, using naturally compressed gas, they offer a really sustainable way to travel into Reading town centre.
Adult day return fares cost around £4.70 at peak times and £5.20 all day. Please note single and Boost (18 and under) fares do not include parking.
Winnersh Park and Ride (suspended until 2023)
There is also a park & ride at Winnnersh Triangle in East Reading – however this is currently closed while works are ongoing to expand the car park there. You can find information about this park & ride before it reopens on the Reading buses website.
You can take advantage of special offers and discounts, such as 2 together and group savings at both Winnersh Triangle and Mereoak park & ride services. Full information on fares and running timetables for both services can be found on Reading Buses website.
