A third Reading Routemaster in preservation is RM1859 (859DYE). Routemasters RM938 and RM1989 were illustrated earlier. Reading Mainline 17, RM1859, is seen on May 22nd 2011 at the annual Slough Running Day. It is on the old 407 route to Cippenham, which used to be operated using green RMLs. The route was one of a pair of cross town services introduced by agreement with Thames Valley and their 69 operated like the 407 from Langley, but further west to Maidenhead.
