Description
Bradford Trolleybuses: The Later Years and Closure follows the story of the city's iconic trolleybus system from its peak in 1961 to its eventual closure in 1972. With over 190 images, this book chronicles the decline of the trolleybuses due to management changes, urban development, and road alterations. The author provides a detailed account of the City terminals, including Forster Square and Town Hall Square, as well as the fleet losses and reasons for closure. The book also explores alternative proposals for extending the rebodying program that were never implemented. This second volume in the series sheds light on why the Bradford trolleybuses remain special despite their decline. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in transportation history, particularly those who appreciate the unique story of Bradford's trolleybus system.
