As an ex London Transport engineering trainee in 1971. I worked with men who worked on the 'trolleybuses'.
My garage Poplar PR, lost its trolleybuses in 1959. They were superceded by the new diesel Routemasters. That meant that the engineering staffs had to learn about a new type, and all its problems.
Sadly Poplar closed it's doors in November 1985, and did not reopen.
I should think that many of my old workmates have long since passed away. I do have great memories of my time there. Aged 16, and up to my neck in grease and oil. Flipping marvellous.
Well done to the people who have saved these vehicles. I'm sure that my old workmates would appreciate their skills.

It's absolutly awesome how many vehicles they have preserved! Shoutout to the people who saved it.

Hope seeing these old buses brought back fond memories.

I'm still waiting to see them bring out their red Brighton trolleybus with the 44 destination display. Elm Grove & Race Hill ? I took photos of it in the shed there years ago?

[@Tuckaway]

I come from Brighton and used to ride on the number 44 route as a child with my mother in the 1950s.

are the engines placed in the back

[@suffolkexplorerbusvideos3310]

no, all electric underfloor

[@aveedub7403]

Its bizarre not hearing the roar of diesels! Shame all the infrastructure to run these in dense urban areas has gone to be replaced by diesels. But electric / hydrogen powered buses are the supposed future! 🙂

An appallingly wobbly piece of filming-truly terrible. What is more concerning is the seemingly insecure trolleybus overhead, especially on the corner shown in the opening sequences: lack of sufficient poles seems to be the problem. In view of recent (2022) problems at Crich, no doubt the ORR will be cracking down on matters such as this.

[@suffolkexplorerbusvideos3310]

umm thanks for the review @Bruce Anderton.... its a shame that you feel the filming is not up to scratch, but then again its not professional and I dont have an expensive camera.

[@harrybryce2624]

@@suffolkexplorerbusvideos3310 I remember the trolly buses in Belfast!

Any one else?

[@bangerbangerbro]

I've seen much worse filming, and it's a home video anyway. I can't comment on the other issue.
