Reading's Buses 2018

Anyone that has visited Reading in recent years will have noticed the vast array of colours adorning the town's local buses, branded as Readingbuses. All routes are colour coded, with the buses painted in the colours to match the route they operate on. The year 2018 marks 50 years since the end of the trolleybuses in Reading and this tied in nicely with the annual Thames Valley & Reading Vintage Bus Running Day event organised by the Thames Valley & Great Western Omnibus Trust. The Independent Transport Videos cameras were on hand to record the day for you. To represent the trolleybuses, 181 (ERD 152) a Park Royal bodied Sunbeam S7 had come from the Sandtoft Trolleybus Museum and was parked for the public to inspect. As well as the Thames Valley and Reading vehicles there were buses and coaches representing Wilts & Dorset, Aldershot & District, Devon General, London Transport, Royal Blue, Red & White etc. The cameras take you on three bus rides in this programme so you can get a feel for the day.
