THE GALLERY

Not the first MRD1 in the Reading fleet - the registration that once adorned the Mayor's car. 828 is seen at the 2006 Showbus Rally, the Reading team kindly bringing along our trusty team of "goody bag" distributors - Doug Gibbs and Rob Midgely - who provide each driver with a welcome pack, which includes a canned drink and a bar of chocolate.

Sister vehicle 834 (YN06JWZ) is seen heading into town from Calcot, in the same pink scheme used for the 23/24 services in July the following year. a year later.

A slightly different shade of pink is seen on 820 (YN06JWD) for the 25/26 services, it contrats with 834 (YN06JWZ) on the 24 behind in Reading town centre in July 2008.

822 (YN06JWF) is in Reading town centre on the 26, with a Newbury Buses Caetano Dart behind it.

Also heading for Calcot is 825 (YN06JWL).
