Longest bus trip from Reading
Last year, I took a few weekend trips to Oxford on the X40 bus, which takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes. I really enjoyed the journey! Since I don’t have a car or a license yet, it’s been a great way for me to explore.
Are there any other similar bus routes from Reading that you recommend?
There are definitely some great bus journeys you can take from Reading! Besides the X40 to Oxford, you might want to check out the X4 service, which goes to Newbury and takes about 40-50 minutes. Another option is the 142 to Basingstoke, which offers a scenic route and takes roughly an hour. If you’re looking to explore further, buses to London (like the Green Line 702) can get you there in about 1.5 hours. It’s always a good idea to check the local bus schedules, as they can change. Happy travels!
