What can you get at Sandoft Trolleybus Museum that you can’t get anywhere else? Well, let’s just say that it’s home to the world’s largest collection of preserved trolleybuses and leave it at that. Such a boast needs no further expansion.
I’m not ever going to visit this place on the grounds that I can feel myself drifting into the 1970s simply through reading the name. I think trolleybuses predate this period, but there’s a particular kind of nostalgia for functional objects which always makes me think of that decade.
The Trolleybus Museum have a manifesto: “To be nationally acknowledged as the museum of the trolleybus.” I would imagine that won’t be too difficult to achieve. The chances of additional trolleybus museums jumping onto the national trolleybus bandwagon are slim at best, you’d think.
