	2.3. Direct current supply and trolleybus overhead
		The trolleybus network and current supplies were renewed at an expenditure of 3,6 millions DM in the years 1990-1997.
		Into the trolleybus network are inserted 5 switches, 5 intake switches, 7 crossings, 20 disconnecting places (places without voltage), several crosswise clutches and 11 supplies of direct current.
		The other motorists think the driver of the trolleybus is "asleep" and drive their cars into the gap, and the driver of the trolleybus must brake.

	Bradford Trolleybus 758 - Bradford Trolleybus Association
		Returning to the unique attributes of 758, we find that it is the last surviving trolleybus of the batch of eight, which were also the last to carry Bradford issued registration issued to trolleys and also the last batch to carry fleet numbers which matched the registrations – FKU 752 to 759.
		Within months of entering service, 758 became the first trolleybus in the city to be hired by enthusiasts for a tour of the trolleybus system.
		The last “new” trolleybus to enter service, 847 (an ex-Mexborough and Swinton single-decker now rebodied as a double-decker with forward entrance) did so on March 1st 1963 and older vehicles were withdrawn – some for scrap and some put into store – the latter fate for the Bradford BUT’s.

	T2000BC opinions page: the electric trolleybus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The electric trolleybus became popular in the 1940's and 50's as many transit systems converted from streetcars to trolleybuses.
		The trolleybus has many advantages over buses using diesel or alternative fuels such as natural gas, especially when effects on the environment are considered.
		While some may consider the overhead wiring required by the trolleybus to be intrusive, it actually helps to draw riders by giving transit a permanent presence on the street.

		This is, perhaps, best described as a modestly-priced 48-page A5 ‘landscape’ picture booklet, containing 44 full-page monotone photographs of trolleybuses spanning the world, irrespective of political barriers, which have been sourced from a number of reputable international trolleybus enthusiasts, together with two more on the front and back of the card cover.
		There was the opportunity, too, to depict to a wider market that although trolleybuses had been discarded in the United Kingdom, the concept was far from dead and there were brand new vehicles to be seen in various towns and cities around the world.
		Indeed, the booklet concludes with a two page schedule of all the known trolleybus systems extant at the time of publication.

	What is a Trolleybus?
		A trolleybus is an electrically-powered bus which runs on tyres and draws its power from two overhead conductors (one live, one return).
		A trolleybus is steered by a driver in the same way as an ordinary bus, but the controls (accelerator and brake – there is no clutch or gearbox) govern the way the power is supplied to an electric motor which drives the wheels directly.
		For example, there are a number of guided trolleybus systems now possible, like the optical guidance system where the vehicle is steered by a detector following some sort of line along the road.

	Trolleycoaches for London
		One would expect a diesel electric to be more expensive than an equivalent trolleybus [since it is basically going to be a trolleybus with the extra weight and cost of a diesel generator set].
		The one advantage the diesel electric should have over diesel mechanical and would share with a trolleybus, would be reduced brake maintenance costs, since it could use rheostatic [but not regenerative] electric braking.
		Overall, diesel electric offers the possibility of a higher quality diesel bus solution where services are too infrequent to justify overhead, with the possibility of operating in trolleybus mode, with all the advantages of electric operation on busier wired route segments.

	The Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft
		Having acquired a trolleybus, it was suggested that a pre-war Corporation motorbus ought to be sought as well: they had all been sold years earlier, but one, no 47, was tracked down in Sussex and was acquired in 1963.
		In addition to the Reading Transport Society and the London Trolleybus Preservation Society, as the momentum to abandon trolleybus systems increased, small groups of trolleybus enthusiasts had sprung up around the country - in Cardiff, Manchester, Wolverhampton, Nottingham and Huddersfield amongst them - and some had bought or been given trolleybuses of their own.
		Construction of trolleybus overhead wiring commenced in 1971 and was completed in stages: the first trolleybus operated from the powered overhead in 1973, the electricity being provided by a diesel-powered generator built on the back of a Scammell towing lorry owned by the Notts.
