If One Corner Of Britain -more than any other - is devoted to the memory of the electric trolleybus, then it is Sandtoft, home of the Trolleybus Museum on the edge of a World War 2 bomber base in part of Lincolnshire within an hour's bus ride of Doncaster. That should take nothing away from the joys of the East Anglia Transport Museum or the Black Country Living Museum, which also offer delightful rides aboard their splendidly preserved trolleybuses alongside a much wider range of visitor attractions. But Sandtoft Trolleybus Museum is precisely what its name suggests, a working museum devoted to preserving, operating and celebrating an emission-free form of public transport that served many UK towns and cities between 1911 and 1972, and which was at its peak between the mid-1930s and late-1950s.
