@northstar1950 - And it's good to see that they're currently refurbishing the system. It's too bad there are none in the UK, but if you ever want to go for a ride on one of these BBC trolleys, check out the museum in Sandtoft.
Open mouth, insert foot .... I had *meant* to say was that Philadelphia strung their original wire in 1923. That wire was on Rt 80, Oregon Ave, which was gone by the 1960s. The wire we rode under with 110 was on Salem btwn Phila Drive and Five Oaks Ave. That with Main St from Riverview to around Washington St, one block on Wayne Ave between Johnson and Lorain Ave, and Linden Ave between Clover and Santa Cruz comprise the longest continuously operated trolleybus lines in North America.
It is really nice to see live overhead still in use in the suburbs..........we have NON in the UK other than a few musuem lines.

@iluvSpectacular011 The power was shut off on that section of overhead wire & the bus eventually came to a hault.

how did you get the video above the bus roof while moving?

@tomomiko202 Through the emergency exit roof hatch. Got the idea from a couple other guys who were doing videos through the roof hatch.

@daytontrolleys No worries. :-) I didn't even realize there was missing information in that "speech". But thanks for the additional info.
