About Reading Train Station

Opened in 1840 as the western terminus of the Great Western Railway, Reading station grew into one of Britains most important railway junctions.

The current station, rebuilt in 2015, combines modern facilities with historical elements.

Reading played crucial roles in both World Wars and became a major interchange for services to London, the West Country and the North.

The recent addition of Elizabeth line services has further enhanced its status.

Readings transformation from a simple terminus to a 21st century transport hub illustrates the dynamic evolution of Britains railway network over nearly two centuries.
