Teesside Trolleybus 291, Cargo Fleet Depot, 1971
Teesside Municipal Transport T291, a former Reading trolleybus acquired by TMT in 1968.
A typical murky Teesside day, the electric bus is pictured 'booms down' parked outside of Cargo Fleet Depot in the last months of trolleybus operation. With the system's closure just months away, the trolleybus fleet was beginning to look tired.
Happily, the T291 survives today, and is currently to be found at the industrial museum of the North East that is Beamish.
Another image from the camera of the late David Atkinson.
Photo - Early weeks of 1971.
