The photograph above was taken in the museum depot of Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust on 4 June 2017. Unlike the Riverside Museum, GVVT had more details of the trolleybus service. Glasgow was one of the last cities in the UK to introduce the trolleybus. The service started in 1949 and it had been unsuccessful and the service eventually ceased in 1967. Trolleybuses had never been introduced to the city centre. TBS13 was the only Glasgow single deck trolleybus preserved. Return to BUT RETB1 Page created: 5 July 2009 Last updated: 9 January 2018 |
