Keighley, West Yorkshire, UK had a tramway at the beginning of the 20th century to which was added a Trackless Tramway, or Trolley Bus system. As the term Tram is used rather than Trolley in the UK it is likely that the trolley buses were often referred to as 'trackless' trams.

What do I know? I'm only a female!

[citytransportinfo]

@Ketturah well actually it does not matter whether a person is male or female.

It depends more on where a person lives, where they have travelled, the transports they encounter at home / when a way from home and finally whether there are commercial or political interests involved trying to convince people that one type of transport is 'better' than another.

@sandinyourbum

why? please explain!

[Ketturah]

Isn't another word for trolleybus a Tram?

[citytransportinfo]

@Ketturah no!

an electric trolleybus can also be called a trackless trolley or a trolleycoach but never a tram, as trams (like streetcars and trains) use steel wheels whilst trolleybuses use rubber tyres.

@Ketturah - actually, "trolley" is another word for a tram, as well as "streetcar", particularly in the USA.

Excellent work. Very inspiring to other modellers. Thanks for posting.

The expression in "American English" is "trolley coach" or "trackless trolley". "Electric trolleybus" is a redundance as "trolleybus" means an electric vehicle, "trolley" is the word that can be used for a bus (those pesky tour buses), a tram or a trolleybus (it is rare that a trolleybus is called only "trolley" in the US) .

Britan and the USA. Two nations divided by a common language.

Thanks for your comments. At times I get confused, because even within the USA diferent people in different areas and from different age groups use different terminology for the same things.

Then there is the US meaning of the word 'tram', which is totally different from so many other nations...
