This Vectra is seen in Oxford on the long standing joint service between there and Reading - dating back to Thames Valley route 5 days. Route 5 boasted Thames Valley's first three Bristol RELLs with original style ECW coachwork, which feature in our Thames Valley gallery.

Delta 519 (N519YTF) is one of the last Deltas delivered new to Reading. In their later years they were used on rural services rather than the town routes they were on initially, but 519 is on a town route here near the centre in its final years. The bus was one of five exported to Ritchies in New Zealand where it became their 442 (EFT351).

DAF SB220/Optare Deltas found a role on trunk services for Reading Buses. Delta 514 (N514YTF) awaits departure from Reading Station on the 105 to Oxford, like the 328/329 Wycombe services this was jointly operated with City of Oxford. This Delta joined 519 with Ritchies as 441 (EKU337).
