The Black Country Museum Transport Group, based at the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley, West Midlands, has the longest stretch of Trolley Bus overhead in the country - 0.8 miles configured ina figure-of-eight loop.

Every two years they host a two week spectacular rally with preserved trolleybuses coming from all over the country.

In 2002 the rally was held between June 1st and June 16th, and six trolleybuses were on-site (for full details see the BCMTG web-site).

Using the rally as an opportunity to film trolleybuses in action, DAVideo have produced a video which gives an insight into how Trolleybuses work and were operated.

  • Under the pit views of a trolleybus.
  • How to check a trolleybus is free from voltage leakage.
  • How to drive a trolleybus.
  • How power is transmitted to the bus.

  • Archive footage of Mercury Arc rectifiers in operation
  • Archive footage of Wolverhampton Trolleybuses in the sixties
  • Interview with leading trolleybus evangelist, Stanley King
  • Interviews with trolleybus drivers and personnel
