{"product_id":"9781399022484","title":"British Trolleybus Systems - Wales, Midlands and East Anglia : An Historic Overview by Peter Waller","description":"Although there had been experiments with the use of a new form of transport - the  trackless tram' (better known as the trolleybus) - during the first decade of the 20th century, it was in June 1911 that Bradford and Leeds became the country's pioneering operators of trolleybuses. There had been earlier experimental users - in places like Hove and London - and as the tide turned against the tram in many towns and cities, the trolleybus became a popular alternative with the trolleybus comping to dominate the provision of local public transport in places like Derby and Ipswich. This volume - one of four that examines the history of all trolleybus operators in the British Isles - focuses on the systems that operated in Wales, the Midlands and East Anglia.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56298646569333,"sku":"9781399022484","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781399022484.jpg?v=1762783560","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781399022484","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
