About Reading West Train Station

Opened in 1906 as "Reading Basingstoke Road," this secondary station was renamed Reading West in 1949.

Built by the Great Western Railway to serve western suburbs and industrial areas, it complemented the main Reading station.

The station retains its distinctive brick architecture with decorative gables, characteristic of early 20th century GWR design.

While never as busy as its mainline counterpart, Reading West played important roles during both World Wars for munitions transport.

Today it serves local commuters and students, with basic facilities preserving its Edwardian character.

The station represents how secondary stations supported urban expansion during the railway age.
