SUMMARY:Reading’s Trolleybuses
DESCRIPTION: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.\nThis is the second of two talks in the Old Reading Talks Series. The other talk takes place on 10th July. You may book tickets for either talk or for both in the series for a reduced price.  \nAfter the talk, tea/coffee and cake will be available (included in the price). Pre-booking is preferred, but you can pay on the door, if there are spaces available.  \nImage: Trolley bus in Broad Street, Reading, 3 April 1956, courtesy of Dave Hall\nTo book, scroll down.\n
