The works will expand facilities at the station with the aim of improving accessibility.
It has been commissioned by West Berkshire Council and train operator GWR (Great Western Railway) and will include better access across the station, with a footbridge and lifts connecting platforms on both sides of the tracks.
Step-free access to the new station building and both platforms will be created, as well as a new ticket office closer to the footbridge.
There will be an upgrade and expansion of the toilet facilities and the car park will be expanded, with a new entrance, improved drop-off and turning facilities from Brunel Road for taxis and rail replacement buses.
