Reading Tramways Company : ウィキペディア英語版
Reading Tramways Company

Reading Tramways Company operated a horse-drawn tramway service in Reading between 1879 and 1901.〔The Golden Age of Tramways. Published by Taylor and Francis.〕
The company is one of the ancestors of the current Reading Transport, the town's municipally owned bus operator.
==History==

The origins of Reading Transport can be traced back to 1878, when the privately owned Reading Tramways Company (part of the Imperial Tramways Company) was formed. They were initially authorised to construct and operate a horse tram route on an east-west alignment from Oxford Road through Broad Street in the town centre to Cemetery Junction. Significantly, this route formed the core of what became known as the ''main line'' of the tram and trolleybus network.
Construction started in January 1879, with the entire line being open by May. A fleet of six single decked cars were initially used, with 31 horses, providing a 20-minute frequency. The cars operated from a depot on the south side of the Oxford Road, immediately to the east of Reading West railway station. By the 1890s the whole fleet had been replaced by double decked cars operating at a 10-minute frequency. The company made several proposals to extend the system, add routes and electrify the system. But none of these came to anything, and in 1899 the borough corporation decided to purchase the system.〔
