Trolleybus Event 2007

Once again the Trolleybus Event was held in early September and was very well attended. Highlight was the first ever visit to Carlton Colville of London Q1 1812.Special buses also made journeys out on free services, including the only rear platform Ailsa and a Midland Red D9...both making their first visits to the museum since restoration.
1812 on loan to us for the event is seen arriving at the Chapel Road Terminus.
