I take it the gas buses will be going to "Reading Buses" since they've bought most of the batch.

(05 Nov 2025, 7:42 pm)stagecoachfan wrote It does suggest they're planning on using it soon though, otherwise why put a poppy on that one, only to peel it off again before it's used.
Especially when I saw quite a few in service buses that don't have them yet.

Daft question. I'm potentially moving to near Kenton Road with access to the 10/11 & 31 which are pretty good routes. 

If there is an issue on the Central Motorway in the mornings, are drivers on the 10/11 allowed to run non-stop via Grandstand Road, BBC, Hunters Road and Claremont Road?
