Transport

What we do

CADRA follows proposed traffic and transport changes, through formal consultations, through the local press, through links with other organisations and through the Transport Users Forum run by the Council on which CADRA is represented.

Reading Buses

The 922 service connecting children in Caversham with schools in the area around the hospital, has now been replaced with the 981. Click here

There is a revised timetable for the 22 service. Click here

There are ways of reducing the cost of bus travel. Smart Cards reducing the cost per ticket, can be bought from Broad St Mall or Great Knolly’s Street and will soon be available on- line. Cards can be topped up on the bus or at a “Paypoint” retailer. In Caversham, these include the Corner Store Gosbrook Road, and General Stores Nire Rd. Click here.

If you are travelling in a group of up to four, with any combination of adults or children, you can buy a group ‘busabout’ for £6.50, giving unlimited travel on that day. This is a saving even for two adults.  A  North Zone 7 day travel card from Caversham to Reading Centre costs £10 or £17 for all Reading zones. Click here

Car Clubs

Commonwheels is a Community Interest Company. It aims to establish an accessible and affordable integrated network of car clubs across the UK through a combination of direct operations and through supporting individuals, community groups and other organisations to set up schemes in their locality.

How to comment on Transport Plans and Traffic Orders

General comments regarding transport should be sent to:

If you wish to record a formal objection to any Traffic Order this should be headed:

Formal Objection to the TRO (with its reference)

and addressed to:

These details are important as the Department of Transport Strategy have already demonstrated their intention not to record objections which do not follow the letter of the procedure.
