Reading Transport - 117 ORD117R - Scania Metropolitan BR111DH - Metro-Cammell
New to Reading Transport, in 03/1977, Reading seemed to have more success than most with the thirsty Anglo-Swedish product, more so in fact that they added to their own with examples from London and Tyne & Wear. It was sometimes confusing as to which of the two operators the secondhand examples had come from as some of the London ones were registered OUC-R whilst the T & W PTE ones were OCU-R examples! This home grown example is seen crossing the River Thames along what I think is is the B3345 George Street, Reading. The photo being taken in early 08/1979.
The film used was Kodachrome Colourslide.
I would request, as with all my photos, that they are not copied or downloaded in any way, shape or form. © Peter Steel 1979.
