On Sunday 26 March 1972, the last operational trolleybus system in Britain, that of Bradford City Transport, came to an end after 60 years of public service. Here are some pictures (sadly not a comprehensive record) that I took on a visit in April 1970.
A short video that shows some Bradford trolleybus scenes may be found here:- www.youtube.com/ It runs on into other videos about Bradford matters so be prepared to stop it when appropriate.
OBP regular, David Beilby, has a splendid page of pictures at this site:- http://davidbeilby.zenfolio.com/

Thank you, Roger, for sharing your Bradford trolleybus shots with us. You were lucky to capture some of the non-rebuild vehicles in service. Making special trips can be either rewarding or disappointing depending on weather and what's in service. You succeeded on both counts.
