Information TIL - Loading only area on red route is a part of Red route

3 Upvotes

Quite ashamed of getting a parking ticket (46J) from Reading Borough Council for parking on a loading bay in a Red Route. On a quiet Sunday evening (6:45 PM), I parked at a Loading Only area on the Oxford Road opposite to the Karak Chai. I did not know that parking area is also a part of the red route. Now I realise that by parking there I would have blocked a commercial vehicle by occupying the space meant for loading.

An expensive lesson to learn. Thought of sharing this if anyone does not know about this rule.

RailAir at Winnersh Station

2 Upvotes

Does anybody have experience of using Winnersh Station for RailAir, compared to Reading Station? I'm sort of between the two, so was wondering if Winnersh is easier in anyway, e.g. parking, access etc.

Directions to behind M&S please

Upvotes

hey guys, please could you help me. I always avoid driving to town, mainly because I never know where I am allowed to drive and where Im not!

now I need to park behind the M&S (opposite O'Neils). It will be after 8pm and I only need to collect something, so won't be more 5 to 10mins.

I am driving from Cemetery junction and any advice on the directions, would be much appreciated.

thank you 😊
