Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft Gathering 2014

I was at the Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft as they held their 43rd Annual Gathering event. The Gathering is the biggest day in the Trolleybus museum's calendar and was held on Sunday 27th July with the preview on the Saturday.
This was the first time I had managed to be there for both days of The Gathering and it was all that I had expected, and more.
There was tours of The Isle of Axholme, and a bus service to Doncaster Bus Station. A large number of Buses and cars were on display on the Sunday.
With Trolleybus rides, a jazz band playing, and Real Ale beer tent and beautiful weather it was just great be there and soak up the atmosphere.
There was also the opportunity to look about the Depot at the vehicles in various stages of restoration.
On the Sunday this area was shared with transport related stalls. The volunteers at The Trolleybus Museum are only too pleased to talk to you about the vehicles or any questions you might have.
I could go on for ages telling you what I think of the Museum but if you can manage it go along and experienced it for yourself.
Many thanks to everyone involved for an excellent event.
A selection of the Photos taken over the two days can be found at: www.mollsmyre.c...
Please feel free to have a look.

Nice video, I've been there about half a dozen times over the years. Always pleasing to see these trolleybuses still doing sterling service in retirement.
The dedicated members do a wonderful job at restoration and upkeep of these vehicles.
A glimpse into the past. ;-

Thank You. I agree with you. The Trolletbus Museum is a great place. It certainly is like stepping into the past. Full credit to the guys that restore these vehicles and allow us to go down memory lane. Its been quite a time since I was last there and had plans to pay another visit Then the world turned upside down with Covid 19.

Great video, I remember travelling on Bournemouth Trolley Buses to Southbourne. I see there's one in the garage.

Being born in 1961 I can 'just' about remember the trolleybuses in Maidstone. My grandparents lived in Postley Road so I may well have seen the brown and cream, Maidstone Corporation no. 72 while it was in service.

[@mollsmyre]

I'm glad the video brought back some good memories.

[@TIMBOWERMAN]

I saw a sign that said "No Entry" except for trolleybuses", this reminds me of the 654 route at Spurgeons Tabernacle to West Croydon which was one way (not now) from West Croydon to the Tabernacle, but not for the 654 trolleybus, but if you caught 68 (a petrol bus), they had to turn right at the Tabernacle and go along Oakfield Road.

An excellent record of our 2014 Gathering event, capturing the many angles of the operation.

[@mollsmyre]

Thanks,Glad you liked the video. It was a very enjoyable event.

[@RickInDorset]

I must visit that museum one day. 1348 looks stunning following its amazing restoration!

[@mollsmyre]

Its well worth a visit. I'm sure you would enjoy it.

[@RickInDorset]

mollsmyre Being an ex-bus spotter from the early 60's in London, I know I would enjoy it. I remember going round the back of Colindale bus garage when it was being used as a Trolleybus scrapyard and feeling sorry for all those old vehicles :(

[@rotherham37]

RickInDorset I restored 1348 with John Crossley, with others helping out at times. For my thanks I was banned, as they told me it couldn't be done, and I proved them wrong. I did 203,204 and many others, 45 years of my life spent.

[@RickInDorset]

rotherham37 I'm glad you were able to prove 'em wrong! :)

[@alanwindypics]

Are some of those trolleybuses bradford ones?

[@davidbatthews3811]

Possibly - IIRC The trolleybus network in Bradford was the last to close in 1972.
