I have just found your site and I would like to say that I found it very interesting. Although I am too young to remember the trolleybuses in public service (I was only born in 1964) I find. It very interesting to see how my local area looked in years past.

The local trolleybus depot is now in use by Redbridge Council for their transport department.

I would just like to thank you for a pleasant episode of nostalgia on this Remembrance Sunday, looking at your excellent website. As a child I remember trips to my grandmother's house near Honor Oak station in south London. On the way there from Guildford we would see plenty of trolleybuses particularly in the Mitcham and Crystal Palace /Anerley areas as I recall. My father would always stop in a lay-by for the two minute silence on Remembrance Sunday and one year I watched with great interest as a trolleybus conductor re-wired the trolley pole with his bamboo pole.

Incidentally, my paternal grandfather became a London tram driver( horsedrawn initially I imagine)when he returned from the Boer War. He became a tramways inspector later and I imagine him a bit like 'Blakey'in 'On the Buses'. Sadly we never met as he died before I was born.

I have finally gone and added David Bradley's web site to my list of favourites. Trolleybuses have long fascinated me and over the years managed to visit many towns and cities which were blessed with trolleybuses. Regretably, the one system that I failed to visit was Belfast. I was born and brought up in Edgware, North London and became well acquainted with routes 645, 664 and 666. In 1957 I enlisted into the British Army and very shortly afterwards was put into a troop ship and sent to the far east where I met up with the trolleybuses in Singapore. The downside of this journey to the far corners of the British Empire was that when I returned to England, London Trolleybuses were but a memory however life is full of swings and roundabout and I was posted to Catterick in North Yorkshire which enabled me to visit many of the northern trolleybuses systems.

You may publish your thoughts here if you wish to comment upon any aspect of this web site. You are not obliged to give an email address but if this is omitted we won't be able to contact you should this be required.

I am alerted to new messages that are posted and if the content is totally irreverent trolleybuses or trams then the message will be deleted.

This web site was moved over to a new server in July 2011 but unfortunately it was not possible to recreate the hundreds of messages left during the proceeding ten years. All rather sad but it is just one of those annoyances that we all have to put up with from time to time.
