Shops closing at Reading Station - Spring 2026
It has become a common sight on High Streets to see empty retail units so it is perhaps no surprise to come across the same at railway stations.
In the last couple of weeks a branch of Boots and a Hotel Chocolat have shut on the overbridge at Reading Station
A third unit next door closed earlier
Meanwhile near the ticket office Marks & Spencer has not only closed - it has been demolished!
