A new Royal livery has been commissioned by Reading Buses to mark the Coronation of King Charles lll.
The newly created design will replace the current Jubilee livery which was devised to honour the late Queen Elizabeth ll.
The new design depicts flowers to represent the four nations of the United Kingdom – the rose of England, the daffodil of Wales, the thistle of Scotland and the shamrock of Northern Island. It also features the official emblem of the King’s coronation to mark the occasion.
The bus is one of the company’s generic vehicles which means it can be used on any route across the network and could even appear outside Windsor Castle or on Buckingham Palace Road on the Green Line 702 service.
Reading Buses Chief Executive Officer Robert Williams said today: “We felt that given the magnitude of this Coronation, the first in many people’s lifetimes, it would be a fitting tribute to his Majesty to represent the four nations of the UK and honour the new King.
“We are excited to see people’s reactions to this new design, especially in the prime tourist spots of Windsor and London. We hope many people take some amazing photos and share them with us!”
