The full range of matchday bus services will be running to and from Madejski Stadium for this weekend's first game of the season against Plymouth Argyle.

There are a few amendments from last season's routes, with fares increasing by 50p as a result of rising fuel costs.

Service 73a from Riseley has been withdrawn due to low usage, and two Stagecoach services have been merged - 950/951 and 954/955 (see below for full timetables).
