The Huddersfield trolleybus system in the UK closed on 13th July 1968. All street trolleybus operation ceased in the UK when Bradford closed on the 26th March 1972. Since then, the only trolleybus operation in the UK has been in museums, such as the Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft.

Huddersfield trolleybuses 619, 631 and 541 (undergoing restoration) at the Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft.
A special Huddersfield Weekend was held on the 12th and 13th July 2008 - to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the closure of the Huddersfield system.

No, we haven't shipped 619 to Marseille! In fact Marseille 202 has come to see 619 at Sandtoft. 202 was recovered from Marseille in 2006, and has been steadily worked on since. It was finally passed out for service in early October 2007, so it was re-launched into service at Sandtoft's St.Leger Day on 14th October and has since run at other events. After more attention to the charging circuit, it ran very well at the European Weekend over the August Bank Holiday 2008.

This site is dedicated to Trolleybuses in general, but Huddersfield Trolleybuses in particular.
