Do you travel from Mereoak to University? If you do, did you know that we can save you money, and reduce the number of single occupancy vehicles (SOVs) on the road, therefore reducing traffic, and urban air pollution and emissions, all at the same time.
This is all possible due to Park and Ride, a free sustainable travel option from Mereoak (Junction 11 of the M4, RG7 1WJ) to either Whiteknights campus or London Road campus.
Between September and December 2024, we saw approximately 2000 journeys being made using Park and Ride, and we want all staff and students to know they can use the Hospital P&R 300 from Mereoak for free, and all you have to do to use this environmentally-friendly service is:
- Show your University of Reading Campus Card to the bus driver
- Free parking at Mereoak is included, no permit needed
- Use the Christchurch Green stop for Whiteknights campus and the Royal Berkshire Hospital stop for the London Road campus
The Mereoak Park&Ride timetable is given below:
