The operations of Reading Transport have expanded outside of the city of Reading since the end of 2017. First with the takeover of Greenline service between Bracknell and London from First Berkshire. In 2018 the operation of Newbury & District was also taken over, this was owned by Weavaway. Six months later, in March 2019, the Bracknell based Courtney Buses was purchased. For operations around Slough, Windsor and Bracknell the brand name Thames Valley Buses has been introduced in January 2018, referring to the company Thames Valley Traction that used to exist in this area.
