UKBUS 6206 Reading Buses Green Line
Northcord Model Company is proud to release its fourth model of the ukbus 6200 range on the former CMNL long wheelbase Enviro400 tooling.
This is ukbus 6206, carrying the livery of Reading Buses with full branding for Green Line.
ukbus 6206 represents fleet number 1208 (GO11 LDN). A significant development of Reading Buses at the end of 2017 was the takeover from First of ‘Green Line’ route 702 (London Victoria – Bracknell). 1208 was re-registered to GO11 LDN, from SN11 BRX, and received a re-branding into ‘Green Line’ livery.
On 8th May 2018 there was a change to ‘Green Line’ with the withdrawal of the 702 between Legoland and Bracknell. Route 703 took over the Bracknell to Legoland section and runs all the way to Heathrow Terminal 5.
ukbus 6206 is displaying route 703 with destination of Heathrow T5 via Legoland & Windsor.
1208 carries full greenline livery, including ‘greenline express’ on both sides and the rear, and ‘greenline’ on the front. The greenline livery and branding are 100% reproduced onto the ukbus 6206 model. The stand-out features of the branding are : route details “Victoria / Kensington / Olympia / Hammersmith to London / Windsor / Legoland on both sides, and London / Windsor / Legoland on the front and rear; “Free WiFi” on all sides; and “greenline702.co.uk”, “get our app” on the rear.
ukbus 6206 is the third Reading Buses Green Line model produced by Northcord Model Company. The previous one, ukbus 0074 (782, SN66 WRD), carries full branding for Green Line with the destination at the front displaying ‘Bracknell 703”. ukbus 0074 models were launched in October 2024. An earlier model, albeit only carrying Green Line branding on generic Reading Buses livery, was ukbus 0062 (758, YX64 VRU) with destination Legoland Windsor on route 702.
ukbus 6206 features excellent detailing, inside and out, such as realistic-looking handpoles and handrails. The Enviro400 model is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the windows and livery application on which all logos and lettering are clearly legible.
Another main feature on the ukbus 6206 model is its dual individual tree protectors at the front. The front dome on the model is significant, with its curved windscreens on both upper and lower deck. The headlights at the front are made of individual components to look more realistic.
The ukbus 6206 is based on a Limited Edition of only 1008 pieces produced.
