These date from 1975 but one with the white double deck bus is from 1976.

Thank you for posting, but I am confused by this view and am struggling to get my bearings.  What is the building in the background?  It looks to me like Basingstoke's old bus station.

Between Alder Valley and Reading Transport according to Wikipedia (so that's when it may have been!)

Newbury buses were always a section of Reading buses/Transport I thought. As the latter, they are now sharing Routes with Newbury and District (Weaveaway) and in fact as mentioned in another thread are contracting Weaveaway on their Jet Black route.

How does one say the name of that bus company by the way, is it 'We have a way' or 'Weave away'. I believe the owner is Mr Weaver but what was in his mind when he named the company.
