Rotherham's Trolleybuses - Sixty Years Gone

October 2025 marks the sixtieth anniversary of the closure of the Rotherham trolleybus system. This book has been compiled to provide a pictorial overview of the trolleybus system to commemorate the passing of what many considered an environmentally friendly form of transport that served the town for over half a century. Hopefully, this publication will jog the memory of those who remember the trolleybuses with affection and show those too young to have experienced trolleybuses what life was like in Rotherham when these sleek electric vehicles were the principal form of transport in the area. It includes an extensive selection of photographs from the opening of the system in 1912 until closure fifty three years later. It also includes a summary of the trolleybus fleet and a series of detailed maps of the system including the former Mexborough and Swinton system which operated joint routes with Rotherham to Conisbrough Low and Adwick Road.
