GREEN Park is set to see the opening of the first new train station in Reading for more than a century later this month.

Reading Green Park Station is now due to open on Saturday, May 27, in the heart of the business area close to the Select Car Leasing Stadium.

With two 150m platforms, a fully-accessible station building and over-bridge, and a number of public transport access links, the station will significantly improve public transport options for nearby residents and businesses.

It will also make travelling to the stadium for sports fixtures by train easier and more convenient.

Approved in 2014, the project is a joint venture from Reading Borough Council and rail operators Great Western Railway and Network Rail.

As well as a bus interchange, a taxi rank, and cycling facilities, the station also provides two car parks complete with 12 blue badge spaces, drop-off points, and long-stay parking.

Tony Page, Reading Borough Council’s Lead Councillor for Climate Strategy and Transport, said: “I’m thrilled that we finally have an opening date for Reading Green Park Station. This will be Reading’s first brand new station since the opening of Reading West station on 1 July 1906.

“When open for public use from Saturday 27 May, Reading Green Park Station will form an integral part of Reading’s ever-growing sustainable transport infrastructure.

“The new multi-modal interchange will dramatically improve accessibility and connectivity to this important area of south Reading. The future expansion of the business park and residential areas on Green Park, as well as the proposed Royal Elm Park mixed use development, will all benefit from the new station.

“It will also be another option for football fans heading to the Stadium on match days, again taking the pressure off our busy local roads.”

GWR Business Development Director, Tom Pierpoint, said:

“New stations such as Reading Green Park are vital in bringing the railway closer to people as we all become more mindful to live and travel more sustainably.

“Reading Green Park is one of three GWR stations to open this year along with Marsh Barton in Exeter and Portway Park & Ride in Bristol and we are excited for the benefits these stations will bring to local residents, businesses and leisure travellers in the areas they will serve.”

Members of the public can take a virtual tour of the facilities at the station via Reading Borough Council’s YouTube Channel: youtube.com/@ReadingCouncilNews
