READING Corporation Transport has completed orders for a total of 42 new buses through a contract worth £97,000 with Pennine Coach Craft Ltd., of Aldham, Lancs., for 28 one-man operated singledecker bus bodies.
Each vehicle will be 33ft long, carrying 50 standing and 26 seated passengers and will have Bristol RE chassis with Gardner engines. The Bristol order, worth £98,000, was placed last month.
Another 14 Bristol RE chassis with Gardner engines were ordered earlier this year for Reading. These will have Strachan bodywork and the first vehicle is due to enter service next month.
The 43 vehicles will bring Reading's one-man operated bus fleet to 74 out of a total of 115.
