About the Book

Trolleybus Days in Wolverhampton traces the history of trolleybus operation in Wolverhampton from its early beginnings in 1923, through the development of the 1930s and on into the war-torn days of 1939 to 1945. The golden years from 1950 to 1960 have also been documented, as has the fight by the people of Wolverhampton to retain the system, culminating in its sad and final demise on 5 March 1967. Trolleybuses represented an important part of the history of transport development in the British Isles and all events are fully covered and written in a detailed but not dry style that can be enjoyed for pleasure and research alike. A full set of appendices is included, covering route wiring maps, timetables and tickets, operational equipment and fleet histories. Also contained is a potted history of the three trolleybus manufacturers during their time in Wolverhampton and a `lead in' chapter on the tramway system to set the scene from 1896 to 1923. The above is supported by a wealth of documents plus photographs, colour and black & white, covering the period 1896 to 1967.

About the Author :
The author, who was born in 1947, has been a keen transport historian for many years. Though currently living in Wellington, Shropshire, Eric spent his early years in Wolverhampton, growing up amongst the trolleybuses he came to love and later becoming a member of the Transport Group at the Black Country Living Museum, where he now regularly drives Wolverhampton 433. He also helps to maintain the wiring system and runs the overhead line store.
