Reading (England) by bus
National Express serve Reading with express bus (UK English:coach) services from around the country; advanced ticketing is necessary. Note that they serve a stop called Reading Coachway, which sounds grand, but is actually a drafty bus stop near M4 J(12) with the only amenities being a nearby McDonald's restaurant and a Sainsburys supermarket. You will need to catch a local bus or taxi (if you can find one) to take you into Reading. Buses to the station in the city centre are quite frequent during the week.
Be warned that the buses in Reading do not give change, so if all you have is a £20 note, you would be wise to change it by buying a newspaper or chocolate bar from the petrol station next to the bus stop.
If you are planning to catch more than one bus within Reading then ask the driver for a busabout (day) ticket. This gives you unlimited travel within Reading for the rest of the day and through the night for less than the price of two single tickets.
Currently, on a Reading bus, a daytime single fare is £1.70, and a daily busabout is £3.50. Concession and group tickets are also available on Reading Buses .
