The Wright bodied Scania L94UB buses were delivered in the first version of generic livery as seen on 1030 (YN06KXZ), seen on the same day in December on reading Blockade work pulling out of the old Thames Valley Bus Station. The mothballed Bus Station was put to good use during the Blockade, having been out of use for some years. It has since been demolished.
