    What about Park and ride - Reading Borough Council

    A couple of them are only £2.50 and you can pay the bus driver with coins.

    I am over 50, I have a smart phone.
    But no parking apps.
    Not needed them yet.
    Today I’m in Scarborough, I looked on Google maps, found the first road just out of town with no restrictions.
    Parked there and walked the 15 mins into town. 
    Not looking forward too using them.

    Or use the park & ride.
    Life in the slow lane

    That's exactly what I was going to suggest (Reading is my old manor  :)). Much easier than driving into the town centre and trying to find a space in any of the central car parks.
