The new site is open from 0700-1900 Monday to Saturday, with buses running every 15 minutes as before at Loddon Bridge and around 400 parking spaces available. The site also boasts two electric car chargers, cycle, motorbike and disabled parking, CCTV and automatic number place recognition (ANPR). After the service finishes in the evening, tickets can be used on "the lion" 4/X4 to travel from Central Reading. Passengers can alight at the Cavendish Gardens stop and walk through the railway underpass at Winnersh Triangle Station to access the car park. 

Like at Mereoak, parking charges are now introduced. The cost for park and ride parking is included in the bus fare, except for concessionary travellers where a £1 parking charge per car is paid on the bus. Train passengers and other parkers are charged £4 for the whole day (10 hours), with discounted season tickets available.
