Fleet

At Reading Buses we have one of the most modern fleets of single and double decker buses in the country and are continually renewing our stock.

Over the last few months many of our Reading buses have been replaced with the latest double decker vehicles. Most are painted in our new corporate livery but we have also introduced new paint schemes for buses dedicated to routes in our Premier route network.

Maintenance is carried out by our own engineers at our premises in Great Knollys Street. We also have an Engineering depot in Newbury, servicing the Newbury Buses fleet. This allows us both to maintain the highest quality standards and to ensure our vehicles are on the road, not awaiting repair or checks.

Future plans

All accessible buses built after 2000 are built to conform to the Public Service Vehicles Accessibility Regulations 2000. A new set of rules concerning the construction of all new buses used in the United Kingdom will apply effective in 2008 when mandatory introduction of European Directive EC 2001/85 becomes law.
