Big bus meet

With a nice free Sunday for once (didn't fancy the local VW meet, very long story!) We decided to go out for a picnic with some friends and then head back to Reading for the bus depot open day. With an ominous black cloud looming large we decided against the tour of the depot and instead had a quick wander round the old buses parked out the back.Kim remembered the Alder Valley line from various school outings.







I don't know what the collective noun for bus spotters is, but there were a fair few sat on this ride.



A pair of the old Mainline Routemasters that ran round the town in the late 1990s







An old Bristol bus. This along with others were doing tours of the town.



As well as the classics, Reading Buses also had its shiny new fleet on display, circling the yard.



I've not turned into a bus spotter, but they are pretty cool old rides.

Steve.
