my father was a bus conductor on the 654 lot of Sutton has changed since this video was filmed. INCLUDING most high street being perdestrionised 2 new roads built St NICHOLAS WAY . THROWLEY WAY 4 a 1 way system
Why on earth did they ever get rid of these trolleybuses and the trams. Very shortsighted of those in charge of us. Economics no doubt but we desperately need this sort of system back now.
3rd March 1959, also a Tuesday, was the last day. Together with the two isolated routes operating from Bexleyheath Depot it was stage 1 of London Transport's 14 stage Trolleybus replacent programme, completed in 3 years 2 months and 5 days. All but a memory after 8 May 1962.
Interesting to see this. Incredible how things have changed, everyone looked so well dressed and so civilised when getting on the bus ! Comparing Sutton then and now is like looking at a completely different country. Such a shame how it has gone down the toilet - where did it all go wrong ?
It's on London Trolleybuses part 1 from online video. Maech 3rd 2009 will be the 50th aniversery of the closure. It took 3 years, 2 months and 5 days for the entire system to be converted to motorbuses. Planned with military presicion, nothing could stop it. There was plenty of work for London Transport's publicity dept. Anyone know what it was?.
Amazing vintage footage of yesterday Sutton.This is the first time I have seen a double decker trolley bus ! A lot of roads nowaday become one way streets.
that is amazing! i take it that route was simular to what is now the 154.. so hard to reconise sutton now it is a one way system.. amazing to see cars going down the high street lol

Thanks I loved this. Back in the 50s we lived in the road that backed onto the Trolly Bus Station. This brought back loads of memories.

Do yourself a favour and buy both volumes of this On-Line Video production, 'London Trolleybuses pt 1 and pt 2'; they're available on DVD, too.
I edited the whole thing.

It can't be - this footage comes from the
1950s - Greenshaw is a bit over 30 years old. It opened around 1971.

Wow. Sutton High St without the Burger King, a different world entirely and one that looks like it had a better transport network as well.
