Reading was one of the few operators outside London to purchase the 1980s Leyland Titan new.

Titan 68 was a dual door bus originally and has Manchester style destination blinds. It is seen here at the depot in a special livery for Thames Valley Park. |

Titan, Olympian and Metrobus purchases (except for the London service Olympians) were typically
dual door. In 1999 it was decided to instigate a programme of conversion to single door in the most
unusual fashion, whereby the entire doorway is panelled over. This can be seen in the nearside rear
view of one of the Olympians fitted with ECW style bodywork by Optare in its early days of manufacture.
