Reading's four East Lancs bodied lowbridge AEC Regent III doubledeckers were a popular feature of the fleet for many years. Here 98 (LDP945), renumbered as 198, is seen attending SHOWBUS 75 at Hillingdon.

 |
Regent 198 was accompanied by 1 (GRX1N) a then new Metro-Scania dual door Metropolitan doubledecker. The purchase reflected the always unusual nature of the Reading fleet. Metropolitans found favour in large conurbation fleets - often as one off substantial batches - Reading and Newport were amongst the few smaller fleets to adopt them.

Metro-Scania 1 created quite a stir at SHOWBUS 75 and posed for photos at the end of the day.
|
|
The Metro-Scania is seen here on the SHOWBUS 75 Windsor Road Run.
