Rotherham's Trolleybuses by Carl Isgar
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. The book includes an extensive selection of photographs from the opening of the system in 1912 until its 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.The author is the Chairman of the Rotherham Trolleybus Group, the Editor of the National Trolleybus Association’s bi-monthly journal “Trolleybus Magazine” and the Publishing Director of the Light Rail Transit Association. He is a life-long tram and trolleybus enthusiast and has travelled extensively around many parts of the world in pursuit of his interest.
