Reading Buses Dennis Trident / Plaxton President open-topper 520 V524ESC has been out and about during the fine spell of weather in April 2019. I enjoyed the top-deck ride to the Tilehurst water tower and back on route 17, the frequent service operated by their purple buses.
The Reading half marathon took place today (14/04/2024) and Reading Buses ran 3 frequent shuttle bus services for the event based at the town's football stadium. The M1 ran to and from the railway station; the M2 ran to and from Shinfield Park; and the M3 ran to and from Mereoak Park & Ride.
Just shy of 20 buses from the Reading Buses fleet were kept busy throughout the day shuttling competitors and spectators. The half marathon was completed by 5373 individuals.
On June 30th 2019 Reading Buses held their 12th Annual Charity Open Day at their Great Knollys Street depot in Reading. The family-friendly event raises funds on the day for their Charity of the Year, this year being Cancer Research UK Kids and Teens.
As well as a good display of colourful buses from their sizeable fleet, there were a small number of visiting preserved buses, a frequent shuttle service into town and even a bus cavalcade at the end of the day.
