Moving trolleybuses at the Museum of Transport Greater Manchester

In December 2018, the Museum of Transport Greater Manchester spent a day moving vehicles to improve displays and position buses in the workshop to receive attention. Two of the most rare and interesting moves were those of our trolleybuses, Manchester and 1250 which have not ventured outdoors for many years. The moves inside the Museum were performed pushing by hand: the transfer from upper hall to lower hall used our AEC ‘Matador’ tow lorry, itself a Museum exhibit and almost eighty years old. The moves were steady and careful, bearing in mind both the age of the vehicles and the need for personal safety, so this may not be a spectacular video; but it does capture a very unusual vehicle movement and the first time a trolleybus has been seen on the streets of Manchester for many years. © Greater Manchester Transport Society 2019
