READING Buses has laid out its schedule changes for the Reading Half Marathon this weekend.

As well as providing services to the event itself, they have also made temporary changes to routes affected by the road closures.

The M1 shuttle will provide a regular service between central Reading and the start line by the Select Car Leasing Stadium, connecting it the southwest interchange at Reading Station.

The service will run frequently from 7am until 9.24am, when it will be subject to diversions while the event takes place.

After 11.30am, the service will return to their normal route, running until the final shuttle into town from the stadium at 3pm.

Tickets for the shuttle are £1.50 each way, and that all-bus, day, easysaver, group, and longer-term tickets cannot be used on the M1 service, and you cannot pay by cash.
