Looking eastbound towards Reading town centre from halfway down the hill (I am standing on a traffic island dividing the carriageway). The four lane carriageway where I am standing narrows to three, and the red tarmac is a contraflow lane, inbound downhill in the morning peak periods (see the signs) and outbound towards us at other times. It works because at those times when it is needed the traffic runs slowly. The bus is on route 33 to Turnham's Farm, a western suburb of Reading. Since about 2006 the main routes in Reading have had colour coded buses, so if you are looking for a 33 you are looking for a blue bus (usually). The bus is just crossing the grid line.
