Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Reading station This photograph is one of a series depicting Reading station as it is in early 2009. Network Rail and Reading Borough Council have announced plans for a major redevelopment of the station and surrounding track network between 2010 and 2012 with the aim of tackling the bottlenecks of the area. The current station and junction capacities only allow for 30 trains per hour, whilst the surrounding rail network would otherwise accommodate 60 trains per hour. There will be significant changes to the station layout, including new platforms, and to the junctions, particularly Reading triangle to the west of the station.

Further information is available here http://www.networkrail.co.uk/aspx/4664.aspx

This is platforms 5 and 6 looking east. The bay platform 6 on the left is one of the usual departure points (along with platform 10) for First Great Western stopping services to Paddington using the slow line. Platform 5 on the right is the main platform for fast services to Paddington, usually frequented by High Speed Trains (HSTs). The class 165 unit here is probably on a service from Oxford, so will have limited stops towards Paddington, probably just Maidenhead and/or Slough, so will use the fast line.
