First Beeline Volvo B12B Plaxton Panther Rail Air coach VC20603
The same coach is seen at Cemetry Junction, in bound to Reading Station along one of Britain's first ever bus lanes. More accurately it was a trolleybus lane and was introduced with a big one way system in the town, the lane saving the cost of rerouting the overhead wires. This view was taken in May 2010.

Here is a better view of the Plaxton Panther bodied Volvo as it arrived at SHOWBUS. Note the VC prefix has been dropped from the fleet number folowing First's sale of its London operations and the Beeline operation coming under the wing of their south of England division and finding a new identity as First Berkshire.
