A rather impressive sense of déja vu has just struck. Please work your way back to posts #10285-10287. And look at posts #10685-10687!

We can only continue on the 26 back to the centre of Reading. We return on the 0145 Reading Buses service 26 to Reading (Coronation Square), arriving there at 0157 in the early hours of Sunday morning.

I don't get the second lot, but I will say I had no idea in relation to the deja vu, I on'y stopped at Winnersh Triangle as it was the first stop after midnight, otherwise the next post may well have been
I can't seem to escape from Reading by train or coach, so it's the 0100 Reading Buses Claret 21 service to Earley, Hawkesdown Way, arriving 0126 on Sunday morning.
