Green When Reading buses made moves to increase the service frequency of route 17 there were those saying it would be the death of the company.
A couple of decades on and it's the busiest bus corridor in central Berkshire.

Bandini Yep, if the cloggies can build houses in what is, essentially, the sea then at the very least we should be able to bang out a Gentle Ben/Everglades knock off. IN! for powering round Kennet Meadows in one of those giant fan powered boats.

Confused. If they're proposing to build on the field I'm thinking of (the one beside the A33 Relief Road), then the Green Park station would be further away from those houses than it is from the Mad Stad. Must be elsewhere.

The whole Kennet Meadows development is for 7,500 houses, so it'll fill most of the floodplain alongside the A33. It was to be built by a number of developers, and the portion of that development to be built by Prudential was down at the Green Park end, and would be served by GP station - to be paid for by Prudential t make their houses more saleable and to overcome transport objections.

John Madejski's Wallet Flood plains are there for a reason and should be left the f#ck alone. I don't care if their 'expert' engineers reckon that raising theale reservoir by 1m will sort it..... the
engineers are ALWAYS wrong when it comes to building on floodplains in this country, as it always goes wrong

If our country was five times the size it is I'd be inclined to agree but not sure you can just condemn a load of land not fit for construction because it's a bit marshy?
New homes have to go somewhere JMW - where would you put them then? Perhaps you'd like to see some green belt tarmaced over?

Alexander LitvinenkoGreen Provincial public transport planners in "missing a trick" shock.
Not really. The extra revenue from the stadium will never be worth enough to make any other investment worthwhile, and I don't think it's transport planners making the decisions. Plus it's a fair old trek to the station, as shown below. ISTR it's reckoned that the only people who'd gain advantage from it are those who'd normally get a stopping train to Basingstoke - everyone else will find it quicker and easier to use the other methods of transport that already exist. That's a pretty small market.
And it's Prudential, owners of Green Park, who are paying for the station to be built, so they can sell houses in the residential development at GP.
