Old trolley bus 9/4/23

The Hastings trolleybus system once served the town of Hastings, EastSussex, England. Opened on 1 April 1928, it gradually replaced the Hastings tramway network, with the first route to be converted that from the Fishmarket to Hollington East Sussex and the last, the circular route. Tram replacement cost £1,383 per mile, but increased average speed from 7.5 to over 10 mph and cut costs from 13d to 10d per mile. Happy Harold still lives in Hastings and now has a diesel engine in him, and comes out to entertain the tourists and locals. This outing is the first this year since 2022.
