 Horseman has its roots in Smiths Luxury Coaches of Reading, which used to operate an interesting mixed fleet, including some pre war RTs for contract work. Front line coaches included this heavyweight AEC Reliance with Duple Commander bodywork, LRD857F. |
 Seen at Brighton Coach Park in the sixties is Duple Britannia bodied AEC Reliance XDP537 alongside a Duple bodied Bedford SB5 of Safeguard, BPC299B. |
Former RT54, seen at the Hillingdon Show for SHOWBUS 75 back in London Transport livery rather than Smiths' blue and orange, is one of Smiths' former pre-war RT fleet.
|
 Smiths Luxury Coaches of Reading had a pair of South Wales Weymann bodied AEC Regent V deckers for school transport. They retained South Wales red, unrelieved, whereas the former London Transport RT buses that they replaced gained Smith's blue and orange livery. Nearest the camera is former South Wales 443 (MCY403).
|
 Smiths of Reading bought six of Green Line's RP class Park Royal bodied AEC Reliances, including now preserved RP90. This however is RP41 (JPA141K), seen at their Rose Kiln Lane depot.
