TVP is at the northern terminus of the A3290 (formerly part of the A329(M)) giving good connections to the M4 and A4. Originally the A329(M) was supposed to follow the river west from the park towards a junction with Vastern Road.[citation needed] A free bus service links TVP to Reading railway station, and the latter has good connections for London and Heathrow Airport.[2]

A railway station to serve the park was proposed in the 1998 Reading Borough Local Plan,[3] but this was never built.
