Is Newbury pronounced:

• (2 syllables) New•brie; or,
• (3 syllables) New•b'uh•ree

I really need to know, and Wikipedia says nothing!

Thanks to some very efficient work, the Reading discord server is now receiving posts from /c/reading.

This is a positive change, as it allows users to keep abreast of both this community, and the existing one. To join the Discord, https://discord.gg/mVesAGrwRM

If you are reading this from the Discord...Hi! Plz send bus pics.

The platform numbers on the display boards don't use decimal, or are somehow encoded with the wrong number until 30 seconds before the train heads off.

And given the doors close up to 45 seconds before departure, -15 seconds just isn't enough time to storm up the escalator, run sideways and fall down the next escalator to the correct (and-now-empty) platform.

Hello and thank you for being part of the Fediverse experiment. This Community is run by some long term Discord and Reddit community members - as this is a whole new world it's possible many of us have different names - I am LordWarfire from both Reddit and Discord and wanted to welcome you to this new place.

Please make yourselves at home and let us know what you'd like to see here and how you found us!

For anyone who found us via the Fediverse - this is a Community for the town of Reading in Berkshire, rather than for the thing you do with books. I know, it's confusing. We even pronounce it differently - welcome to "Redding" :)

Thanks!

The weather is lovely today, isn't it?

This is mostly a "test post: please ignore", but I just had to comment on the sunny weather.
