Black Country Living Museum

In 2000 the Black Country Museum held their bi-annual Trolleybuses Galore event. Bournemouth 202 visited this event prior to visiting the East Anglia Transport Museum. It has since received considerable work on both brakes and trolley heads and remains on loan.

Another visitor to the Trolleybus Galore event, this time in
 2004, was newly restored Belfast 246.

 

 246 seen outside the depot prior to doing a demonstration run.

 

Also visiting the 2004 event was Manchester 1344

 Here 1344 awaits its turn in the queue at the 2004 event.

1344 is currently on loan to Carlton Colville and has seen use throughout the season, including night time running at the Trolleybus Event 2005, 2006 and 2007.
