    Hi Douglas. I'm just old enough to remember Trolley Buses in Govan, Glasgow. My mum said they were called 'silent death'?
    Kind of ironic now that electric' is the 'future'!!

      I agree John - I'd never heard that term in my life until I started posting these trolleybus videos around last year. And modern electric cars, bikes, vans etc, are probably even more "silent" than buses!

    Interesting views of the now preserved TB78 in a reversed style of the later Glasgow livery, with the orange above the green. I wonder if it was the only vehicle painted as such ?
