Are there any trolleybuses in the UK currently?

Posted at: 2015-06-30 
There are none currently in passenger service in the United Kingdom. The last one ran in Bradford in 1972.

However, several museums exist where preserved examples from many British towns and cities do run and carry passengers around the museum site, such as at Sandtoft, near Doncaster, the East Anglia Transport Museum at Carlton Colville near Lowestoft, and at the Black Country Museum in Dudley, West Midlands.

There is a proposal to build a new trolleybus system in Leeds and negotiations continue.

No, but there are trams operating in a number of cities including London, Birmingham, Blackpool, Manchester, Sheffield and Edinburgh

No. We DID have them but they have all long since gone... London, for example, had quite an extensive network of trolleybuses but the last one ran in 1962.

Previous answers refer to trams but of course they are not trolleybuses. I know what you mean - an electric bus powered by overhead lines that does not require rails in the street like a tram does.

We call them trams, and yes, some cities have them - Edinburgh and Manchester for a start. There is a tram line in south London too.

Sadly no. The London trolleybuses were so comfortable and smooth to ride on.

Manchester has a Tram line

Not any more but more & more trams again....
