New Solars for Madejski FastTrack
09-09-05
Three new Scania L94UB / Wright Solars are to enter service on the Madejski Stadium / MCI Park & Ride on Monday. They wear standard First livery with additional FastTrack branding that mirrors Reading Buses' new livery for route branded quality corridors.
The three vehicles, numbered 65724-6 lined up in reverse order outside First's Bracknell depot yesterday. Thanks to Stephen Wise for this photo.

The idea behind the use of basic First livery is a desire to make sure that the Saturday fleet, which includes a fourth vehicle from the normal First fleet, looks as much of a whole as the Monday to Friday will service with the three dedicated vehicles.
RMC for Job and Career Opportunities Exhibition
08-09-05
A general careers fair was held at Rivermead today and yesterday, open from 10am to 7pm yesterday and 10am to 6pm today. A special shuttle bus was organised to operate to and from the station, and was operated by First. A hand written notice by the First Great Western information screens in the station directed visitors to the departure point, whilst surprisingly RMC1510 was chosen to operate the service today!
