Trivia and Design
See also: History:Reading
In Spring 2017, Transport Focus calculated a 100% satisfaction score for the westbound services and 96% for the eastbound services. This made the westbound services one of the country's top two. By 2019, westbound had fallen to 84%, with eastbound on 90%.
As one of the newer service areas, Reading's two buildings are both build around an atrium, with south-facing windows. Over time this has been extended significantly with new retail units.
During summer 2021, the former westbound external Costa kiosk was refurbished and rented out to Template:Website.
bp pulse electric vehicle charging points were installed here in 2020, but they are yet to be switched on. A further 24 ultra-rapid chargers are planned for late 2021.
Moto will add an additional 18 HGV spaces to both sides in early 2022 as part of their investment into improving facilities for HGV drivers.
