	I'm Robert Williams, sadly not the famous singer Robbie Williams, but the one with a passion for buses. I am located in a town called Reading (pronounced Redding), which is situated in the former County of Berkshire in South East England, and run this site - Bus Zone - for the benefit of bus enthusiasts interested in bus operations in the area. The site also has a UK-wide page to give a national overview and a few other pages to look at other bus enthusiast issues. Why Buses? This page looks at why I'm interested in Buses, a question I am frequently asked. Bus spotting is not just about memorising timetables. What's the Difference? This page aims to point out the differences between different types of bus to the untrained potential enthusiast. Every double deck bus does not look the same, but they are similar in having two decks, wheels, lights and a driver. Reading Transport Details about the principal bus service provider in my home town, including over 150 photographs, and a fleet list. Reading Transport includes Reading Buses, Newbury Buses, Goldline Travel and Reading Transport Engineering. I also have details on former brands Reading Mainline and The London Line. Reading Area Details about other bus operators in the Reading area along with a few pictures. Reading Area Routes Most enquiries about buses from my friends in Reading are about which route goes to where they want to go, so here are the answers. Details of Reading area bus routes. UK-Wide Details about the main bus operators in the UK, along with a couple of pictures. This page includes First Group, Stagecoach, Arriva, Go-Ahead, and National Express to name but a few.
