The design for a new railway station in Reading has been unveiled.

Green Park station will be built on the Reading to Basingstoke line near the Madejski Stadium as part of a multi-million pound scheme to improve transport networks across Berkshire.

Plans for the £6.4m station include a bus interchange, park and ride and a multi-storey car park.

The planning application will be decided by both Reading Borough Council and West Berkshire Council.

A four-storey car park would provide spaces for 200 cars

If approved, construction work would begin in October 2016.

It is part of a £21.4m batch of schemes agreed by the Berkshire Local Transport Body, external, and funded by the government.

Other schemes include road improvements in Newbury, Slough and Bracknell.
