Dear all,

 

Here’s the latest from the Reading Buses group of companies.

 

Reading Buses

536 and 537 have been sold to Aldermaston Coachlines, departing on 25 April.

1108 was collected by PC Coaches on 5 May.

1204 remains at Thames Valley Buses, and is still expected to transfer back soon.

Certain vehicles have spent two-week periods on loan to Thames Valley Buses during the month, starting with 759, then 1202, and currently 758.

 

Newbury & District

1417 has been returned to National Express following a temporary reduction in work from 1 April (following a recast of the 210 timetable). I understand that National Express have passed the vehicle to Travel Star. An additional vehicle is expected in July for additional work in its place.

 

Thames Valley Buses

682/3 were vinyled on 22 April. 682 entered service on 1 May. 683 still awaits its first day in service.

1212 was collected by Lynx Bus on 13 April.

 

1204 has yet to be transferred to Reading Buses as planned, and remains in use here. It is expected to transfer soon.

Certain vehicles have spent two-week periods of time on loan from Reading during the month to cover for ongoing work on 796, starting with 759, then 1202, and currently 758.

 

135 and 138 are still present, being prepared for return to Dawson Rentals.

457 remains withdrawn for sale at Reading.

 

 

Regards,

 

Robert
