Green park station/south Reading station

[Green]

The 15 minute bus ride from the station in no way factors in my decision to go to a game. I find it bizarre that anyone would make their decision to go or not based on that.

Getting there is the easy bit TBF, coming back is the issue.

[Green]

getting back from Green Park station after the match will be a nightmare.

Get fukced

Is it going to be any worse than now?

It can only be improved so just do one ya dik

Always a pleasure to debate matters with an intellect and wit such as yours.
I don't see that a 15 minute walk followed by a long wait for a train will be any improvement on the existing bus shuttle services.
People returning to Mortimer, Bramley or Basingstoke stations might be slightly better off, if they can get on the first train.

And those changing at Basingers for stations to Winchester, Southampton and the South Coast, or stations to Exeter St Davids via Salisbury (you know who you are)

Look guys these are all just plans. TPFKA Dirk Gently has told us that this won't happen. And you don’t spend 18+ months researching such matters, developing sources and sharing information with others in football doing the same and without finding out all sorts of interesting things. He's unashamedly ITK (and proud of it) so we just have to assume that this isn't going to go ahead.

You'll all look very silly when Dirk (may he RIP for evermore) is proved right once again.

Sorry UWG, I was in a bad mood and drunk when I posted that message. Apologies Sir.

I'm prepared to bet it will happen.

Though not with Dirk, he wouldn't pay up.

I guess the station is there really for Green Park and future developments in that area plus to act as a park and ride facility for those going into town, So that may mean no more Green Park / park and ride buses.

Madejski P&R is relocating to Mereoak, just the other side of the motorway. Can't believe they'll stop the Green Park buses either, Tony Page just wouldn't allow it seeing as he no doubt has his fingers in those troughs. Competition is good right?

Which frees up the Madejski carpark to be developed into a shopping mall or similar by the new owners, fans can park at the new P&R the at Mereoak and get a bus in.

May I just take a moment to doff my cap to the previous two posters.

No probs.

The latest turn of events is that the station may get built ... but the trains wont stop there!

It is though Tony Page saying that and with his long record of getting transport things wrong in Reading I would not bet on it.

[Sutekh]

They're just catching it now and pointing out how absolutely ridiculous it would be to spaff money on the station and then not also upgrade the line so that money would actually be worthwhile expenditure.

[Winchester Royal]

I'm expecting that this will be shelved in favour of the long awaited monorail from Reading station to the Jazz Cafe.

[bobby1413]

I still want to see ReadingTube implemented

We could have "The Tilehurst Line", "Woodley", "Northern Line", "The Riverside", "Cemetery Junction"

We could also have areas of the town called "The Latin Quarter", or "Boulevard"

Potentially, Ricky Gervais could do all the voice overs such as "Please mind the gap", etc...

"Under the current timetable.....are not able to achieve the necessary acceleration in the short distance between Green Park and Reading Station"

Of course the timetable can only change if you change the type of train on the line, what a load of b*ll*x. This man has no idea what he's talking about.

Which sums up Tony Page and the Labour Council.
