Newbury is situated on the River Kennet, the valley of which has always formed an important east-west transport route, served by the Kennet and Avon Canal, and the Great Western Railway line from London to the West Country. Today, Newbury is served by two railway stations, Newbury and Newbury Racecourse, which both lie on the Reading to Plymouth Line. Following a similar east-west route is the A4 road from London to Bristol, historically the main route west from London. This road has been superseded as a long distance route by the M4 motorway which here runs parallel three miles to the north. The Newbury junction, at Chieveley, is Junction 13. At Newbury this east-west route is crossed by an equally important north-south route, from the major south coast port of Southampton to the industrial centres of the Midlands. Although this route was once served by a railway line, today it is only served by the A34 road, which now bypasses Newbury to the west on an alignment partially using the old rail route (see also 'Modern Notoriety' below). Until the completion of the bypass, the A34 and A4 met in the town centre at the infamous Robin Hood Roundabout. This is a complicated gyratory system encompassing 6 approaching roads, a fire station and an exit on the internal (right-hand) side of the roundabout which has to fly-over the roundabout as it heads away to the north. Recently the sculpture, Couple in Conversation, was unveiled on the roundabout, providing a new landmark for one of the major gateways into the town. Other significant roads radiating from Newbury include the A339 which now includes the renumbered part of the old A34 through the town centre and then heads towards Basingstoke and the M3 motorway, the B4000 to Lambourn, the B4494 to Wantage and the B4009 to Streatley. Most local bus services are provided by Newbury Buses. Newbury is home to the world headquarters of the mobile network operator Vodafone. As well as Vodafone, Newbury is also home to the UK headquarters of the pharmaceutical company Bayer AG, Newbury Racecourse (a major course on the British horse-racing calendar), Mediasurface, Quantel, Stearn Electric, The Bindloss Gibb Foundation, Micro Focus, and Genesys Video Conferencing. It also is home to Newbury Building Society which operates in the local region Newbury is home to the major horse-racing fixture, Newbury Racecourse. The most prestigious race in the calendar is the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup which normally takes place in late November. Newbury is fortunate enough to still have one of the last remaining outdoor lidos in the UK National Express Coaches operates coach services from Newbury to a number of cities. |
