The trolleybus museum at Sandtoft have their main event in July, known as The Sandtoft Gathering which includes visiting buses of all types. The main event took place yesterday, Sunday the 28th July.
On 27th July, Ken Jones braved the weather to visit preview day – a low key event especially if it is pouring with rain . There were 4 trolleybuses in service during the day all having to plough through surface water.
Ken’s pictures show some of the vehicles already lined up for the main event, including foreign and British trolleybuses as well as the Hastings single deck trolleybus which was once a home, and which one day will be restored.
Also on show, under cover, was the newly unveiled replica 1911 Keighley single deck trolleybus made in the Czech republic.
