Reading Railway Station – The Busiest Station in Berkshire!

Welcome to Reading Railway Station, the busiest railway station in Berkshire and one of the most important railway junctions in Britain.

Opening on 30 March 1840 as part of Isambard Kingdom Brunel's legendary Great Western Railway, Reading has grown from a relatively modest station into a huge railway interchange handling more than 14 million passenger entries and exits every year.

In this video, we'll take a quick journey through the fascinating history of Reading Station – from Brunel and the first trains to London Paddington, through Victorian expansion and the days of the Great Western Railway, right up to the enormous modern redevelopment that transformed Reading into the station we know today.

We'll discover why Reading became such an important railway crossroads, how the station helped transform the town and why millions of passengers continue to pass through here every year.

And, of course, we'll discover a few unusual facts along the way!
