Park-and-ride returning weekdays

A park-and-ride bus service in Berkshire is set to return on weekdays for the first time since the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic.

The 500 (Winnersh Triangle – Reading) bus has been running as a trial on Saturdays only since the autumn.

Wokingham Borough Council halted the service for two reasons: first, following a drop in passengers during the COVID lockdowns; and, secondly, to allow work to expand the car park at Winnersh Triangle to take place.

Reading Buses will now operate the service every 15 minutes, Monday – Saturday, starting from Monday 19th August.
