Getting To The Madejski Stadium At Reading Is Getting Easier

I last went to the Madejski stadium at Reading a couple of years ago and it wasn’t an easy journey!

But today’s trip was a lot easier.

As the new Metropolitan line station at Paddington s now almost complete, I go to Paddington using that line, by getting a bus to either Barbican, Kings Cross or Euston Square stations. It’s then just a matter of walking over the bridge to the requisite platform.

I got a train direct to the new Reading station  and then walked a couple of hundred metres to get one of the umpteen buses to the stadium.

The journey will probably get better, as the two stations are completed in a few years time.

Crossrail should also improve the journey, but I’m not sure how at present, as I’ll still have to do part of the journey by bus.

It’ll be interesting to see how I do this journey in a few years.
