and that looks like the mid-80s, m8

Definitely gone by the late 60s and all the wiring too.

FWIW Jumbo buses started in 1971 - the same year as the Rock Festival

At the match I noticed that our second kit is Reading Corporation Transport colours….

Now you mention it..........!

I tried to load a photo of a Reading trolleybus to prove it, but failed. Pity we won't be able to use Smiths of Reading coach colours next season.

In for the Smith's coaches kit...



Will it smell of uncleaned flock seats?

SUTEKH I claim my extra points, I have certainly travelled on 113 at the Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft (near Doncaster, Which is where your photo of it was taken. I may have also travelled on 143 as I often caught a trolleybus from the Town Centre along Oxford Road to Elm Park. My father was a conductor on the trolley's and during the school holidays, I used to go on the one he was working on so I think I must have covered the whole system in my time.
SUTEKH & STEALTHPAPES The last Trolleybus pulled into the Mill Lane depot shortly before midnight on Saturday 3rd. November 1968.

Thanks for the pictures.

Wow, great memories, the triangle and water tower in Tilehurst my old stomping ground back in the late 70s and early 80s

But how long was your longest bus ticket?



Think I did 32 half-pennies once

well this thread has gone off in an interesting* direction.

Happy memories for me too. My grandparents lived on Hildens Drive, near where those photos were taken.. I went to primary school in 1971/72 on the 17 route as well , Norcot Road.

Are we going to get fined for a late sub of a player who has already been subbed?

But, you set up a chance for a gag, so it's a win!

see, I look at that and think Tilehurst has barely changed

Peterborough are now the second best goal scorers in the division and second worst for goals conceded and not surprisingly are at half way in the table.
At their current rate they could get very near a 100 goal season but probably finish outside the top 6.

The only time we have been like this was the brief period under Jack Mansell when the attacking play was a delight to watch but defensively we were dire.

Just for the record Jack Mansell managed Galatasaray in 74-75, his first managerial gig was another blue and white hooped club in the now defunct Blauw-Wit Amsterdam in 1962. His final foray into management/football was with Maccabi Tel Aviv in 1982. He sadly died in 2016 at the age of 88.

missed this at time but that is quite the managerial career
