The Government have annnounced £425m to improve transport in Reading as part of a £515m station redevelopment scheme and transport consultants have already started planning their bonuses. The full plans are at the moment a top secret, but we have managed to sneak a look at them and asked Peter Baxter, head of Transport, to answer a few questions.

"Yes, it's true," he told us. "We're going bulldoze the station and build a brand spanking new state of the art one in Maidenhead. After all it's where Crossrail is going to start so it makes more sense to have the mainline interchange there. First Great Western have already promised a regular bus service from Reading to Maidenhead which should be more reliable than their trains. That leaves Reading Station to be rebuilt with just two platforms serving the new Peter Brett Park next to the Madejski."
