My wife said she'd like to have another baby...
I agreed. The one we have is starting to annoy me.
Last London trolleybusIn 1962 the era of the trolleybus in London ended. Just as they replaced London trams from 16 May 1931, they were themselves now being superceded by diesel-fuelled buses as economical alternatives. The trolleybus ran on electricity from overhead lines, had pneumatic tyres and shared the existing road surface with other street traffic. One trolleybus running on the final day was an "A" class trolleybus which had made its first journey for the original London United Tramways. "Diddler" No. 1 (as known by the staff), which had been preserved after its retirement, was brought out to join in on the final day of the trolleybus. The Diddlers were replaced with newer trolleybuses in 1952. London's last service trolleybus ran from Wimbledon to Fulwell.«[Image: A later-type trolleybus seen from above its overhead electrical lines.] |
