VIDEO: Appeal made to complete restoration of historic trolleybus
A GROUP is urging people to get on board with a project to raise more than £35,000 to complete the restoration of an historic 1950s Bradford trolleybus.

Bradford 758, a double deck vehicle, was built in 1950 and first used by the public a year later.

It was the last rear-entrance, open platform trolleybus to operate, not only in Bradford, but also the UK before it was taken out of service in March 1972.

Now, members of the Bradford Trolleybus Association charity are restoring this last remaining bus to its former glory.



Gary Wilkinson, chairman of Bradford Trolleybus Association, said:

"The trolleybus needs to be saved.
"It's a unique vehicle. That's why we need to do this. The restoration project has been going on for 15 years now.
"There is at least a year's worth of work to go on the restoration.
"We will probably need at least £35,000 more to get it going.
"We are also looking at applying for a lottery grant to help with the restoration work.
"We want it back and running at Sandtoft Museum."
