Someone just took a shortcut from p7 to p8.
Not the wisest idea at 17:20 on a Friday evening, or at anytime for that matter.
Needless to say it got pretty much all of the platform staff and BTP (British Transport Police) interested, very quickly.

Children and families are being invited to attend an open day event on Monday 23 August at Reading station where colleagues from Network Rail, Great Western Railway and British Transport Police will be running a range of activities promoting railway safety.

The open day is aimed at children aged 8-13 who will learn about railway safety and is designed to encourage children and families back onto the railway. There will be a quiz about track safety, the opportunity for children to learn how to buy a ticket, a visit to the station platform to learn how trains are despatched as well as the opportunity to take home some free activities.
