"The trolleybuses in this area are over 20 years old and are now being replace with diesel buses. The change is being made because the buses can go anywhere, and will enable London Transport to give you a better service."

The abondoment of the trolleybus network was 14 steps for London Transport
but one giant leap backwards for the environment and the service got a whole lot worse.
