As I am no good at the Reading Buses fleet numbers,can anyone provide any bus fleet numbers of demonstrators,optare solo,dart or E400 Citiy buses that are allocated to routes running near Great Knollys Street,thanks The 17 on nearby Oxford Road uses Scania Gas Enviro 400 Citys as it was one of the routes I used in Reading a few months ago - it's also very frequent (every 7 minutes from memory). Reading has three Darts as trainers including, I believe, two ex London United DPS's I've no idea if they run near Great Knollys Street but for the Optare Solos, it might be best going into the nearby town centre. They have younger Solos over on the Thames Valley 2 & 5 but they aren't nearby. Reading Buses have a fleetlist here which shows all the buses they operate as of April this year - www.reading-buses.co.uk/files/fleet%20list/April%202018.pdfHope all that helped

Still sounds good though.
