The decade 2010-19 was a period of change and colour in Reading’s
bus services. Many routes and liveries changed, not just for
Reading Buses but also the other operators that ran longer-distance
services into the town. It was a period of expansion as Reading
Buses took on the services of other operators in the middle of the
decade and new operators appeared in the town – some more
enduring than others. In this book author and photographer Julian
Walker traces the development of the bus network in Reading, the
vehicles being introduced and the changes to the liveries as the
decade progressed. Starting with an introduction to the history of
Reading Buses prior to 2010, the important ‘Premier Routes’
concept is also covered. This had been conceived and rolled out
during the previous decade to give each main core route its own
identity and colour, albeit to a corporate template. It was this
that set the scene for the ‘change and colour’ of the 2010s, as
routes changed – or were acquired from other operators - and the
style of the branding evolved, with new names, colours and styles
being introduced. Each year of the decade is covered separately to
give a brief account of how it reflects the changes that were going
on at the time. A postscript chapter gives a brief outline of
events post-2019, and the future for Reading’s buses is
considered. This photographic survey of the bus scene in Reading in
the decade 2010-2019 will appeal to all those with an interest in
the history of road transport in this area.
