News from Reading Buses





201 is now back from refurbishment and repaint, and is nearly ready to return to service. It becomes the highest-spec member of the generic silver fleet with a number of very exciting one-off trial features:


* high definition destination displays

* interior & exterior colour lighting system for route branding

* kerbside logo projector when doors open

* extended interior refurbishment, including under-seat lighting and trimmed sidewalls


We are very committed to our brightly coloured route brands, and want to strengthen them further when one of silver spare vehicles (that cover all routes) have to be used to cover for maintenance.

The coloured lighting on the inside and outside of our orange, purple and little berry buses has been a real success - helping them to look really eye catching, especially at night.

201’s prototype lighting system should allow us to automatically light the bus according to the colour of the route it's running, once all of the programming and colour matching work is complete.
