Reading Transport Bristol VRTLL6G Northern Counties Jumbo 23
Bristol 23 (XRD23K) represents one of Reading's distinctive fleet of "Jumbos". The long wheelbase dual door standee Bristol VR buses were designed to shift large loads. The fleet of Northern Counties bodied VRTLL6G chassis was partnered by a fleet of standee Bristol RELL singledeckers with box like bodies built by fringe coachbuilder, Strachan. One can be seen behind 23.
