Thanks - Yes, good to see them working - not many places in the World where there were double-deck trolleybuses!

I drove Cardiff 203 after the Museum closed, what a wonderful experience.

Thirty years later, how many of these great buses still exist? Have they been saved? Thanks for your upload

There are rolling Historic Museums 🚎

I can never understand why these quiet, non polluting vehicles were done away with, to be replaced by noisy smelly diesels in our cities.

Because they were beyoned their sell by date, old and restrictive in that they could not run off the over head wires into new housing estates as new over head wiring required installing and in the 1970's it was not being manufactured any more so Diesel Buses were introduced that could go any where, the modern equiverlent now is the Electric Buses being built that are as versatile as a Diesel Bus that can travel ant where with out over head wiring.

The Black Country Museum and Dudley are not in Birmingham. Dudley is a Metropolitan Town in it's own right nd is not a part of Birmingham being arround 7 miles from Birmingham in the Black Country
