A NEW direct Greenwave bus will connect one of the borough’s park and ride sites with the Royal Berkshire Hospital.
Reading Buses is revamping its Greenwave services, which connect the Mereoak, Green Park and Madejski Stadium with Reading town centre. From today (Monday, March 13), new timetables will come into operation which will see the service run a direct bus to the hospital.
There will be three journeys each direction per day on weekdays, which the company says will act as a trial to test demand for a service from the park and ride site at Grazeley to the hospital.
Services between Reading town centre and the Madejski Stadium will be reduced on weekdays. Reading Buses said that this is due to decreased usage of the service, but there will be more buses running to Green Park Village, a new housing development being built near to the stadium.
The 60a route will also run to Rivermead leisure centre, which will be home to a new pop-up swimming pool.
