Reading's Trolleybuses
A talk by Dave Hall
This talk looks into the early days of public transport in Reading from the decision in 1934 to replace the remaining tram routes with trolleybuses to the end of operations in 1966. In the post war years, further routes were converted to trolleybus operation, and the talk includes many photos showing both the trolleybuses and various shops/buildings and cinemas that have long since disappeared. Finally, we take a brief look at those Reading trolleybuses that are preserved and operate at The Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft, North Lincolnshire.
2 - 3.30pm
