Porton trolleybus line up 2012 for Manchester, Cardiff, Rhondda and Pontypridd.wmv 

This year's line up for the West Porton display is 'trolleybuses of the North West', first show in Manchester, but accidentally includes a Roe body bus (Leeds). Oops. The line-up proudly includes a scratch-built model of one of the 52 Manchester Burlingham bodied BUT trolleybuses built in 1950 and the last trolleybuses for Manchester. They were withdrawn in 1966 when the Manchester system closed: I can remember them well, even though I was only a lad - but it's where I got bitten by the trolleybus bug so my trolleybus story now comes full circle - - Manchester trolleybuses running in Manchester once again. July 2012. (The model Bury tram isn't mine - but very impressive. The full scale original 6-wheeler Manchester Crossley BUT trolleybus isn't mine either: you can see it in the Manchester Museum of Transport. Thanks to all.)
