London Transport Museum Depot - Acton
London's first trolleybus, the Diddler from 1931, which launched the start of scrapping London's trams (not completed until 1952 due to WWII). The vehicle is seen here displayed at the London Transport Museum Depot on 23rd September 2022. This trolleybus was withdrawn from service in 1948 but was brought out of retirement to make a commemorative run on 8th May 1962, the Last Day of the London Trolleybuses. By that time they were confined to the Kingston area where they had all begun service 31 years earlier.
