The Museum opens for the season Sunday 4th May at 10am. Come and view the progress of our trolleybus restoration and speak to our volunteers. Also a great opportunity to look at the restored roof and new windows of the Long Shop. Lots to see and do. We will have engines in stean as well

A short time-lapse film of returning the restored body back on the chassis. 3 years work led up to this milestone moment. Once again No.26 is sitting its wheels and starting to look like a trolleybus again. But there is still a ways to go before we are done.
