Boring Bus Question

General
1

For those taking a bus from Reading Station tomorrow - has anyone found confirmation that the matchday service will reflect the earlier KO?

As I say - boring bus question, but I’ve looked and can’t see anything

The best I can find is this, but it’s not really “confirmation” as such…

I’m sad enough that I called Reading Buses who confirmed there will be services running from 10am, from the Station to SCL

‘Boring bus question’ is an oxymoron, surely?

Or tautology, depending on your opinion of buses.

I thought there was a train station near the ground now, Green Park? Wouldn’t that be a better option?

It’s about a 20 minute walk from Green Park station to the stadium. It’s worth considering if you’re getting to Reading by train as having Reading Green Park as the destination on your ticket won’t add much, if anything to the fare compared to getting it to Reading.

I’m staying in the town centre overnight and will be dropping my bag off at the hotel first thing. I know Reading town centre very well but never been to the stadium. What’s the best way to get there?

Last time I went to watch a match at Reading (Elm Park that was) we went by special train.
And that was just a Berks & Bucks Cup Final. Those were the days

@petef1 If you’re feeling up to it, the walk from the town centre along the Kennet canal and then along the A33 is do able. Otherwise the F1 bus from the train station bus stop nearest the Greyfriars goes straight to the ground but is a bit steep at £5.50 for a return ticket.

Thanks @readingmarginalista. Planning on a quick stop at the Hope Tap for a full English and a pint so I might try the walk along the Kennet after. Thank you!
