Where trains from Reading go
Reading is where the Great Western main line meets the Elizabeth line from central London and the routes south to Gatwick and Waterloo, so one platform can serve very different journeys.
From Reading you can get a direct train to London Paddington, Oxford, Bristol Temple Meads, Birmingham New Street, Gatwick Airport and London Waterloo, and plenty more.
Only the trains you catch
Most people only care about a few of the trains on the Reading board. Tell TrainTicker the station you're going to, say London Paddington, and it lists only the trains that call there. Pick your platforms if only some of them matter, and set how long your walk to the station takes, so it hides any train you couldn't make.
You can change any of it from your phone whenever you like. See everything the board does or read how to read a departure board.
Questions about a Reading board
Can I have a Reading departure board at home?
Yes. TrainTicker is an amber LED departure board, 320 by 80 mm, that shows the next trains from Reading live from National Rail. You set it to Reading (station code RDG) once from your phone and it keeps going. It costs £199.99 once, with no subscription.
Can it show only the trains from Reading to London Paddington?
Yes. Choose a station the trains must call at, such as London Paddington, and the board lists only those. You can also pick platforms, and tell it how long your walk to the station takes so it hides the trains you would miss.
Does it show delays and cancellations at Reading?
Yes. Each train shows On time, its expected time, Delayed or Cancelled, with the reason the railway gives. The times come from Darwin, National Rail's live train information system, which also feeds the screens at the station.
Can I see the Reading departures without buying anything?
