READING'S leopard is changing its spots.
Reading Buses have announced changes to the leopard routes and route 9 as they combine the two services to help improve reliability and create new links.

But buses will no longer run between Arborfield and Bracknell, with the 3b being removed.
Leopard 3 journeys finishing in Arborfield will be extended to serve more of the new homes in Sheerlands Road and Nine Mile Ride Extension in Arborfield Green.
Reading Buses say the leopard 10 will be renumbered as leopard 8 to coincide with changes on 9 to provide three leopard buses an hour to Spencers Wood – with extra buses to this area provided by the tiger 7.
The public timetable and maps will be available online: www.reading-buses.co.uk shortly.
