Park & Ride train station from East of London to Reading

Upvote:6

I don't think there is anywhere with direct trains from Essex/East London to Reading? At least not until Crossrail starts.

The closest direct train you will get is from Waterloo.

Your best option might be Egham, just off the M25 with parking at Β£7.50 per day. Though at that point you are well over halfway to Reading.

Once crossrail does open then you have a lot more options from as far East as Shenfield (1hr 42). https://www.crossrail.co.uk/route/maps/route-map

As @Muzer points out, there are fast non-stop trains from Paddington to Reading. While driving to and parking at Paddington is probably a non-starter, you could take the Hammersmith & City Line from Barking to Paddington and change trains once. Hammersmith and City Line
