Reading Buses Scania Omnidekka
A radical departure for Reading Buses was on display in the shape of this newly delivered long wheelbase East Lancs bodied Scania Omnidekka. The new livery is also unusual, variously described, charcoal and beige seems most suited. The colours will be Reading's new standard, though other buses will be colour coded to match diggerent route allocations. The new fleet of Scanias, a departure from normal supplier, Optare, had yet to enter service in Reading.
