What memories - what a wonderful ride those new Sunbeams where and why oh why did the Council destroy the system - what an asset to the town it would be today!

Nice museum with trolleybuses and great to hear how this particular one was repaired and returned to "service". In the "States" near Chicago is the Illinois Railroad Museum and they have around 16 trolleybuses from all around the U.S. Several of which are operable.

an excellent short video showing the beautifully restored Bournemouth trolleybus 297 ( A Sunbeam mf2b which only saw 7 years service in Bournemouth unfortunately ). Superb !!
