Interest in old trolleybuses increased as they began to disappear from the urban landscape in the early 1960s. Now, there's a new generation of trolleybuses designed in - and for - the twenty-first century.

Loving restorations of surviving examples means that it is possible in cities including London, Glasgow and Dublin to see and ride in functioning buses. This book traces the fascinating history of the trolleybus since the first experiments in this mode of electric transport were conducted over a century ago.
