Reading Station - London & South Western Railway
Friday 21st September

In 1920 the terminal station in Reading, that later become the Southern station, belonged to the South Eastern and Chatham Railway. It was at the end of the line from Redhill via Guildford. Trains of the London and South Western Railway from Waterloo to Reading also terminated here having joined the SECR's line at Wokingham. The station was closed in September 1965 and the traffic moved to new platforms at the south-eastern corner of the main Reading station in a long over due rationalisation. The site was cleared and developed for offices.
