I'd have to say that this is a pretty major station, especially considering that there are an awful…read morelot of platforms, and pretty much all of the trains that pass through here will stop. It's also the western terminus of the Elizabeth Line, which is helpful, especially if you work in the city. I was going to say that it is the edge of London, but I suspect Reading is a separate city all of its own. Pretty cool station though.

So, it seems that they are in the process of building a ticket office for this station, probably…read morebecause it happens to be being used a lot more that what it was originally expected. Like, at this stage it is being used a lot more than when it was built, and at the time is was one of those stations that happen to have a couple of platforms, a small shelter (and they are always small), and a ticket booth. Hey, at least it is getting an upgrade.

A very small stop on the railways, Reading West station (RDW) has only two platforms and very few…read moretrain services. In fact, the station is only staffed during the morning hours though there is an automated ticket machine. No proper waiting area either, no vending machines, no restrooms or other services. Because it's closer to my flat than the main Reading station (.5 miles vs .75), I thought I might give it a try. While it doesn't have nearly as many trains into London, it has the added bonus of being just before Reading on two of the morning commuter runs. This means that you don't have to fight the massive morning rush hour crowds to get a seat and can look snootily at them as they board at the next stop.

I've been living in Reading since December '09 and I have to send props to the Reading bus system…read more As an American, they have made it possible for me to survive here without needing a car. It's that whole "wrong side of the road" thing that messes me up. The buses are frequent, they are clean, and many of the lines run all night. The system is pretty simply laid out, with the various lines arranged like the spokes of a wheel, with the Reading rail station at the hub. The stops throughout the system are located closely enough together that you don't have to walk far to get from one to the next, but they are spread out enough that hte bus doesn't stop too often. They recently adjusted their fare system, where prices are much easier to understand. Two one-way trips are just a touch cheaper than an all day pass. There are also 7 day, 30 day and 90 day passes with graduated prices, but you really have to be riding at least three or four days a week for it to work out in your favor. The people of Reading are fortunate to have it.

I've lived in Reading since 2007 and I've used the buses from the start. If you need to get almost…read moreanywhere in Reading then there's a bus or buses that can get you there. The 17 bus route runs 24 hours and is useful if you're a student as that route is close to the university and the student area of Reading. It's a little hassle if you need to get across Reading via two or more routes as the buses don't "sync" so you can find yourself waiting 10 minutes for a connecting bus. But that's the only drawback I have. The buses are clean, arrive regularly and most of the bus stops now have a sign that shows the estimated arrival times which is useful. If you need to travel in Reading a lot, get yourself an all day ticket as it pays for itself after 3 trips.

Booked an arrival and return pick-up, for a total of 98 British Pounds. Not bad at all for a two way ride! ( A Black Cab will cost over 100 Pounds one-way from the airport) My driver called my cell phone at pre-arranged time, upon landing at Heathrow. He greeted us at the arrival exit, with a placard with my full name on it. The driver was very courteous and helpful with our luggage to the car. Bottles of waters are available in the car. On our return trip to the airport, the assigned driver arrived at the hotel early for pick-up and gave me a call. No stress and no-frills impeccable service! Highly recommended for travelers arriving in London with spouse/family and a lot of luggage! I cant imagine people travelling any other way!

A real nightmare! I…read morehad to go to the National Express coach stop on Bath Rd, Reading, so I booked a taxi by phone and specified that - despite I knew the bus stop was adjacent to the Recreation Ground - I had never been there so I needed the taxi driver to know where we were heading. I was reassured that that was not a problem, advised just to tell the driver that I needed to go that 'well-known' coach stop, and so I booked the taxi for a quote of £12. On the morning of the journey I did as advised: I showed the driver my tickets with the details of the coach stop location and he told me he knew exactly where it was, and soon we were on our way to Calcot. Guess what? He had no clue where the destination was, he tried to dump me at a few random bus stops in Calcot, I missed my coach and had to ask to be taken to Reading station where I had to buy new tickets for the quicker Railair. Once at the station, he charged me £25, refused to recognise his mistake and to give me any discount, lied to me saying he never told me he knew where the coach stop was. I also called the company, and I was just shouted at and threatened. I had not seen such a lack of professionalism and integrity in a long time, this is not only a bad taxi service, but a bunch of bad people!
