The route

From Windsor (SL4) the natural line out is the M4 J6 and the A308, joining M4 J11, then A33 and Caversham Road for the last part of the journey. That is about 23.2 miles door to door. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 45 min off-peak becomes 55 min when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.

Where we meet you at Reading Festival

Caversham Road or the Richfield Avenue rendezvous point set for the weekend. Richfield Avenue closes to general traffic across the weekend, so pickups run from the signed rendezvous on Caversham Road.
