The Trust Education Centre at the Royal Berkshire Hospital (RBH) is a short 15-20 minute walk or bus journey from Reading Railway Station. We highly recommend you use public transport if possible. Reading Station is very well served by local and regional trains, and the RBH is well served by buses including several Park and Ride services. Please allow adequate time for Reading traffic and hospital parking- you may find it more convenient to park nearby on Erleigh Road (up to 10 hours possible, same cost: £19.00 for > 6 hours as of 29/01/26) rather than queue for the almost adjacent multi-story car-park.
