About This Film | Details & Information Remembering Our Bradford Trolleybuses "The Bradford trolleybus system served the city of Bradford, Yorkshire, England for much of the 20th century. It was one of the first two trolleybus systems to be opened in the United Kingdom, along with the Leeds system. Both systems commenced operations on 20 June 1911. However, the public service on the Bradford system did not start until four days later. The Bradford system lasted the longest of all of the UK's urban trolleybus systems. Having been one of the first two such systems to open, it was also the last one to close, on 26 March 1972. Just before its closure, it was also the longest-lived surviving trolleybus system in the world, but with the Bradford closure, that distinction passed to the Shanghai, China, trolleybus system, which opened in 1914." ( Wikipedia ) The bus at the end of this film is not in Bradford, but was part of the film reel, and has been left in. It's the last 248 route with RLH buses in Upminster.
