Today I am exploring the Reading to Basingstoke branch line. Depending upon which specific year is chosen, Reading Green Park could be included if set after 2023. The Reading–Basingstoke line is a railway link between the South West Main Line and the Great Western Main Line, constructed by the Great Western Railway between 1846 and 1848. The line is served by GWR local services between Reading and Basingstoke, stopping at the intermediate stations of Reading West, Reading Green Park, Mortimer and Bramley. The line is also an important through route for longer distance passenger and freight services: CrossCountry services from Bournemouth and Southampton to Birmingham and the North of England and freight trains between the Port of Southampton and the Midlands use the line. South Western Railway weekend workings also operate between Reading and Salisbury. Reading to Basingstoke map. Reading Bay platform for Basingstoke services as already featured in GWE.
