three Scania OmniCity single deckers have now arrived numbered 1-3, YN56 FBF/G/J. 3

Reading Transport Fleet List: Delivery of
Newbury 6-12 has been delayed by two weeks. Enviros 970-3 are to be returned to their
leasing company on 30th September, so four vehicles from Reading are to be used on loan
along with 942 and the Solos until the Scanias arrive. Thanks to Richard Aldous for this.
If 1-5 arrive in Reading this month as planned, 961-4 seem to be likely candidates for the
loan.

Blackpool Design Associates (a company specialising in non-PSV conversions) painted all
black. Thanks to Paul Turner for this.

passed from Ensign (dealer) to Harris Coaches, Blackwood. All ten have now found new
