Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Reading station, near to Reading, Great Britain.

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.

This is taken from towards the eastern end of platform 9. It shows the bay platform 10, which is used by slow trains to and from Paddington that start from or terminate at Reading, especially in peak periods. To the left are various through tracks that are occasionally used.
