Transport in Reading, Berkshire : ウィキペディア英語版 | Transport in Reading, Berkshire
Reading's location in the Thames Valley at the confluence of the River Thames and River Kennet, and on both the Great Western Main Line railway and the M4 motorway, some west of London has made the town an important location in the nation's transport system. ==River==
The town grew up as a river port at the confluence of the Thames and Kennet. Both of these rivers are navigable, and the locks of Caversham Lock, Blake's Lock, County Lock, Fobney Lock and Southcote Lock are all within the borough. Today navigation is exclusively leisure oriented, with private and hire boats dominating traffic. Scheduled boat services operate on the Thames, operating from wharves on the Reading side of the river near Caversham Bridge. Salters Steamers operate a summer daily service from just downstream of the bridge to Henley-on-Thames, taking around two hours in each direction and calling at the riverside villages of Sonning and Shiplake. Thames River Cruises operate trips from just upstream of the bridge, including a service on summer weekends and bank holidays to Mapledurham, taking 45 minutes in each direction and allowing two hours ashore for visits to Mapledurham Watermill and Mapledurham House.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://reading.crosscab.co.uk )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.salterssteamers.co.uk/readhen.htm )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.thamesrivercruise.co.uk/scheduled_trip2.asp )〕
