Member @Pitmanwalsh1234 asked: ‘Who remembers the trolleybuses in Wellington Street?’ We found this amazing photo of these electric-powered buses from 1950! The trolleybus network used to operate on various routes in the city alongside the tram system until it ceased operation in 1969. What are your fondest memories of trolleybuses? We’d love to read them here!
