Parking
If you are just parking (for the train or for local business) then you pay at the machine to get your ticket for exiting the car park. This will cost you £4.
If you are getting the bus (and we hope you are getting the bus!), the parking is included in your bus ticket. Your bus ticket will have a barcode printed on the bottom of it which you scan to get out of the car park.
Concessionary Passes, Police and Other 'Free' Bus Passes
If you have a concessionary travel pass, you will still need to pay for your parking if using the bus. This will cost £1 per car and is bought from the bus driver. Remember, the charge is per car, so you only need to pay £1 per vehicle regardless of how many passengers you have. If you don't use the bus, you will need to pay at the machines and the fee will be the same as other parking - £4.
Police, Reading Buses employees with a valid travel card and employees of other bus companies with reciprocal agreements with us will also need to pay the £1 parking fee when travelling on the bus.
