Thames Valley Buses is based in Bracknell. It was known as Courtney Buses until 2021 which was founded in 1973, the company operates a network of commercial and contracted local bus services and school buses in Berkshire, north Hampshire and small parts of Oxfordshire, Surrey and Buckinghamshire. In March 2019 it was purchased by Reading Buses, with the company having gradually rebranded to its current name between October 2019 and April 2021. Enviro300MMC 796 carries a full and colourful livery for route 194, heading to Camberley via Great Hollands. These special, comprehensive livery details are 100% reproduced onto the models. The stand-out features on the branding are: "Thames Valley" on all sides; the names of the stops along the route "194 / Bracknell / Crowthorne / Sandhurst / Camberley" on both sides and rear, "COLLEGE WORK local links / train connections / SHOP evening out" on both sides. Furthermore, "free WiFi" at the front and on the nearside. The Alexander Dennis Enviro400MMC is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the square, gasket-mounted windows and the livery application on which all logos and lettering are clearly legible. Another main feature on the model is its tree protector at the front. The front dome on the model is significant, with curved windscreens on both upper deck and lower deck. Northcord Model Company is also creating new design standards within the interior of both saloons. These features, inside the compartments, will represent the real, outstanding layout of the Enviro400MMC, such as the extensive portrayal of handrails on upper deck and lower deck, etc.
