Although there had been experiments with the use of a new form of
transport - the trackless tram' (better known as the trolleybus) -
during the first decade of the 20th century, it was in June 1911
that Bradford and Leeds became the country's pioneering operators
of trolleybuses. There had been earlier experimental users - in
places like Hove and London - and as the tide turned against the
tram in many towns and cities, the trolleybus became a popular
alternative with the trolleybus comping to dominate the provision
of local public transport in places like Derby and Ipswich. This
volume - one of four that examines the history of all trolleybus
operators in the British Isles - focuses on the systems that
operated in Wales, the Midlands and East Anglia.
