Making tracks With £6.5 million additional investment in the highway infrastructure around Bracknell, trains direct into London Waterloo, major centres Slough 11 miles, Reading 15 miles, and Guildford 18 miles away, as well as Heathrow Airport 20 miles away, Bracknell is well-positioned in every way. 53
