THE GALLERY

In 2008 the pioneering purple liveried East Lancs bodied N94UDs were displaced by a fleet of impressive new all-Scania Omnidekkas powered by ehthanol. The introduction of these "green" purple buses also heralded an upgrade to the service with 24 hour operation. Initially the service was shared between the old and new fleet as this July view shows with N94UD 806 (YN54AEX) heading to Tilehurst and Omnidekka 1114 (YN08MMU) heading to town.

1114 was numerically the last of the batch of fourteen Scania CN270UDs.

1104 (YN08MKU) is seen in St Mary's Butts in Reading town centre in its second month of service.

Omnidekka 1103 (YN08MKP) looks impressive as it forks right for Tilehurst at Reading's Cemetry junction.
