The second delivery of Excels bought these specially liveried examples for the Fasttrack Park & Ride scheme from the east side of town, Loddon Bridge - 914 (P914GJM).

The implementation of Reading's Nighttrack 24 hour bus network brought several changes to the company. The Cardiff Excels departed for Eastbourne in exchange for the Spectras, plus these newly delivered low floor versions for the services. Some of Reading's existing and some of the Eastbourne Spectras were painted temporarily in Nighttrack livery whilst new vehicles arrived. To ensure sufficient crew, a number of rural services were withdrawn, including the 328 to Wycombe which passed entirely to Arriva control. 723 (YJ51ZVG) is seen at Reading Sattion on Daytrack Park & Ride duties.

The butt of 721 (YJ51ZVE) in St Mary's Butts shows the striking livery application on these low floor Spectras. The new services are heavily subsidised by the local council. In front of 721 is a Bee Line Northern Counties bodied Scania.

Excel 934 (T934EAN) still in service in Reading on Fasttrack Park & Ride servicies in July 2007. Many of Reading's once large fleet of Excels had departed, if not for Eastbourne but to New Zealand. The first headed to the Christchurch Bus Company in 2005. Ritchies' Auckland opeations have received more = as well as some of Reading's last Deltas.

Two of the Fasttrack Excels are sen at the depot on the sane day with a route branded Wright bodied Scania.
