Book Description
Although there had been experiments with the use of a new form of transport - the âtrackless tramâ (better known as the trolleybus) - during the first decade of the 20th century, it was in June 1911 that Bradford and Leeds became the countryâs pioneering operators of trolleybuses. There had been earlier experimental users â in places like Hove and London â and as the tide turned against the tram in many towns and cities, the trolleybus became a popular alternative with the trolleybus coming to dominate the provision of local public transport in places like Derby and Ipswich. This volume â one of four that examines the history of all trolleybus operators in the British Isles â focuses on the systems that operated in Wales, the Midlands and East Anglia.
