Green Line

Welcome to Green Line! We took over Green Line 702 from First Group in December 2017 after they withdrew from the service and we picked up the baton!

looking forward

We would really appreciate any customer feedback about the route to help us learn - you can email us at [email protected] with your thoughts on the route if you currently use it.

timetables

The initial timetables were deliberately kept similar to those which First operated previously. 

We have a few journeys to and from Reading. These are aimed at commuters and shoppers.

don't leave it to chance, get the app

As we seek to understand the timetables that we are running, we realise there may be parts of certain journeys that don't quite work for some people. For that reason, we have developed our own Green Line 702 app that will allow you to track your vehicle live and favourite your stops so you always know when your coach is coming. 

Go to 'Live Times' and select the stop you want to leave from - then select the journey you want and a map will appear with your buses moving around it! That way you can be sure that if your bus is a few minutes away on the display, it really is just around the corner!

fares and ticketing

In the interest of keeping things simple, Green Line operates with standard Adult and Child fares - we will not be extending our Boost scheme to this service. Child fares will only be available for customers ages 5-15. 

more ways to pay

We like to make life easy here at Reading Buses, so our handy Green Line 702 app has mobile ticket (mTicket) availability meaning you can buy tickets on your phone! 

We will also be accepting contactless payments on board for fares of less than £30.
