Two trolleybuses standing in Rotherham town centre in 1931Welcome to the Rotherham Trolleybus Group web site. The site will be relevant to anyone with an interest in Trolleybuses from the Rotherham and Mexborough trolleybus systems and their operation. The objects of the Group are to encourage and help with the restoration of trolleybuses from the area and to study the history of the systems and their operation.
At a practical level, working parties are held at The Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft, and in the Midlands. Newsheets and web updates are available to members and these give progress with restoration of the vehicles and information on meetings which are held from time to time and at which members can meet and exchange views and information.
It is the aim to restore the vehicles to operational condition so that members of the public can once again experience a ride on a trolleybus from the Rotherham area. The Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft is one of three museums equipped with suitable overhead wiring.
