Sandtoft Trolleybus Museum South Yorkshire 2nd May 2010

            London Transport Q1 trolleybus turns the corner at Sandtoft Trolleybus Museum. Built in 1948 and withdrawn in 1961 it was then sold into service in Spain. After repatriation from Santander in Spain it was fully restored.

The Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft, near Doncaster, is the world's largest collection of preserved trolleybuses. It's actually located on what was RAF Sandtoft, an abandoned Second World War airfield.

My visit to the museum was by pure chance as we had been to a pub in the village for lunch. My last visit was in 1988 but over the years I have passed it many times but it always seemed to be closed. The museum was holding a May Bank Holiday Extravaganza Weekend and over the day over 12 different trolleybuses were in operation. Unfortunately the weather wasn't brilliant on the day.
