Trolleybus magic at Carlton Colville

Enjoy the fantastic sights and sounds of traditional British double-decker trolleybuses 'real electric buses' in action at the East Anglian Transport Museum at Carlton Colville transport museum near Lowestoft. Come aboard, too, with rides featured on each one shown - plus a 'cab view' at the end of the video, which clearly shows the lefthand 'power pedal' (the 'accelerator' of a trolleybus is on the left of the brake pedal). In action here are: 1938 London Transport Leyland LPTB70/Metro Cammell 1796 (ELB 796); 1950 Maidstone Corporation Transport (new to Brighton CT) BUT 9611T/Weymann 52 (LCD 52); 1951 Portsmouth Corporation Transport 1951 BUT 9611T/Burlingham 313 (ERD 938) and 1960 Derby Corporation Transport Sunbeam F4A 237 (SCH 237). The technique of driving a trolleybus is very different to a normal bus, as you depress the power pedal past audible 'notches' (like a tram driver 'winds on' notches of power with the handle) to start away and go faster - but then you lift your foot straight off (you don't gently let the power pedal go if you want to slow down) when that power is not required. Similarly, there are sections of the overhead wiring, where you have to not apply any power with the power pedal at all, here at Carlton Colville, a reminder of this for drivers being a change in the road surface. Like a train changing direction at points, a 'frog' ('points' in the overhead twin wires) drivers have to stop, the conductor hopping off to pull a pole-mounted lever to change the direction the trolley booms will take, when required. Trolleybuses last ran in the UK, in Bradford, in March 1972 and the few museums which run them (this one and that at Sandtoft) are now the only way you can see and enjoy a ride aboard a traditional trolleybus on the move.
