Reading Buses
For those interested in Berkshire's rich history
This photo-rich talk by Dave Hall will look at Reading Corporation’s motorbus services from their introduction in December 1919 up to the turn of the century at the end of 1999. We will see how the design of the vehicles progressed from the days when Reading Corporation bodied their own vehicles to the more modern up to date fleet. The growth of the town and the many routes that were introduced over the years will also be covered with many nostalgic photos documenting the story.
2.30 - 3.45pm
This talk is being held at our new external venue for talks - Abbey Baptist Church, Abbey Square, Reading RG1 3BE.
Tea/coffee and biscuits is included in the price. Pre-booking is preferred, but you can pay on the door, if there are spaces available.
