Isambard Kingdom Brunel gave Reading an inconvenient station with
but a single platform; after four major rebuilds it now has 15.
This book documents 175 years of growth; the proliferation of
branches and connections; the 'railway mania' of the 1840s; the
'battle of the gauges'; competition between the Great Western,
South Western and South Eastern lines; increasing speeds; and the
current transformation to a safe, flexible and efficient
interchange. It looks forward to electrification and the
possibility of through trains to Heathrow, the City, Essex, North
Kent, and even mainland Europe.
