‘Scene’, in Reading Once More on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

It is now over 3 years since I last visited Reading in Berkshire so a re-visit was on the cards.

 

A compact town with excellent transport connections and an interesting array of buses.

 

Most of ‘Reading buses’ services are route and colour branded.

 

That leaves a requirement for ‘spare buses’ to be available where route branded vehicles, for whatever reason are not available.

 

Referred to as the ‘generic’ livery these ‘spare’ buses are painted in a grey livery.

‘Scene’ in Nottingham. Diesel engined buses/1 on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

Over the last couple of years I have covered the introduction of gas powered buses on a number occasions.

 

However, there are still large numbers of diesel buses in the City that are worthy of illustration.
