Reading was one of the better trolleybus systems in the UK.
Opened on 18 July 1936, trolleybuses gradually replaced trams. By the standards of the various now-defunct trolleybus systems in the United Kingdom, the Reading system was a moderately sized one, with a total of four routes, and a maximum fleet of 63 trolleybuses. In the months before the system closed on 3 November 1968 a number of tours using trolleybuses from other systems took place. In this video we see Belfast and Huddersfield trolleybuses in Reading.
Filmed by Barry Coward set to music by Richard Stanbrook.
