Reading Transport, but it looks like a MCW Metrobus to me |

Note the strip across the back of the Metropolitan in the link. The Metrobus was developed from the Metropolitan, but none had this extra brightwork. Reading had Metropolitans and Metrobuses, both MkI and MkII, but this one's a Metrobus. As I recall the X1 was the service that Reading and Southend started jointly (Reading-London-southen) when the bus industry was deregulated in the 1980s. It was progressively cut back and eventually withdrawn altogether. |
