The long standing Reading - Heathrow Railair service was started by Thames Valley with a fleet of Duple (Northern) Viceroy bodied Bedford VAM coaches C417-420 (LJB417E to LJB420E). The coaches were unusual in the then Thames Valley fleet as they sported South Midland livery but bore Thames Valley fleetnames. Bedford C418 is seen near Langley on the M4 heading for Reading.

 Bedford C418 is seen again inside Thorn Street depot alongside two newly delivered Bristol VR buses, 502 (UBL243G) and 504 (UBL245G). Masking tape can be seen on the blind box of 504. |
 By the time the picture above was taken, the four Bedfords were in reserve for Heathrow duties, distinctive Duple Commander bodied Bristol RELH6G had taken their place. Bristol C424 (RJB424F) is seen at Heathrow with old fashioned BEA Routemasters in attendance. |
This donated picture of C424 is thought to be in the Reading yard at Cemetery Junction.
