Last Sunday saw celebrations to mark 125 years of what is now Reading Buses. On display in the town pedestrianised centre with 1935 Park Royal bodied AEC Regent 4 (RD7127) was this beautifully restored 1961 Burlingham bodied Sunbeam F4A trolleybus 193 (VRD193). Both attracted a great deal of attention from the public making it difficult to get a clear shot. The progress from the electric trolleybus fleet to the recent delivery of all electric Alexander Dennis Enviro400EV doubledeckers was plain for all to see as the new buses passed through St Marys Butts on a variety of local routes. The celebration involved several interesting buses offering local rides from the Butts including former 701, the Optare Sectra, a "jumbo" Bristol VRTLL6G and several visitors including SHOWBUS veteran Thames Valley Bristol K6A 446 (DBL154), another KSW and L type, a former London Metrobus - evoking memories if local Metrobuses - and the preserved JMT Leyland Titan TD1 from Jersey!
