 Dear Mr Bradley
    As far as I am aware there are two surviving Portsmouth trolleybuses.
    One belongs to us, Portsmouth Museums & Records Service and is looked after
 for us by the City of Portsmouth Preserved Transport Depot, 52 Broad St,
 Portsmouth.  This is a volunteer-run museum, open gratis, only on the
 afternoon of the second and last Sunday of each month.  The vehicle is
 an AEC 661T, supplied to the council in 1934, with an English Electric H50R
 body and electrical equipment.  It was numbered 1, later 201, registration
 RV 4649.  It is presently being returned to its original livery after conservat
 ion to its front.
     The other is ERV 938, a BUT 9611T built 1950-1, with a Burlingham H52R
 body and English Electric equipment, I believe.  I recollect that it was
 preserved by a group with facilities on an airfield in East Anglia in the
 early 1990s, but may well be wrong.  Phil Marfleet of CPPTD, tel/fax
 023 9273 6738, may be albeto confirm its whereabouts.
 Yours sincerely John Stedman
