Beeline
Bracknell
Bracknell is famous for the 3M
building, multitudinous roundabouts and a preposterously large bus
station. The local bus company is Beeline (F-owned
seemingly) which was the bit of Alder Valley that Reading Transport and
Stagecoach didn't want. Unloved and uncherished, both town
and bus company are true survivors. Below is a teaser of
what's in store the next time you visit. |

The Bracknell population is definitely
streetwise and can therefore understand why their latest buses are not
painted in F-bus barbie livery. Alexander/Olympian P174TGD
started life with First Glasgow. |
Legoland and Windsor Castle are the two
main tourist attractions near Bracknell. Plaxton/Scania M814PGM
carries livery to promote the Danish theme park. Some
bacon ma'am ?? |

The only F-corporate liveried vehicles to
so far arrive in Bracknell are a handful of Wright/Scania lowfloors,
that carry advertising for Broadway (Bracknell, not USA). T822JBL rests
in front of the recycling bins. |
Bracknell town services have now handily
become home to these charming ex-London Wright bodied Darts.
