Back on track for Madejski Stadium stop
The idea for a new station near to the Reading Football Club ground, the Madejski Stadium, and close to junction 11 of the M4 has been reinvigorated by Reading Borough Council.
The plans for the station, near Green Park, which houses a large business park, were put on hold two years ago but the borough council is looking to start work on it within three years.
The station, on the Reading to Basingstoke line, is expected to cost up to £8m to build.
The plans were pulled two years ago when a key developer dropped out.
The area around Green Park and the Madejski Stadium is known for its long traffic queues, particularly on match days.
Reading Borough Council is set to re-submit a planning application for the station next year.
