Tuesday 13 March 2018 - Malcolm Wells, Remembering Hull's Trolleybuses

From July 1937 to October 1964 a fleet of electrically powered trolleybuses formed the backbone of Hull's public transport system, providing passengers with speedy, quiet and pollution-free rides throughout the urban area. Services were frequent, operating every two minutes on Hessle Road at the afternoon peak, every five or six minutes on Chanterlands Avenue. Daily bus journeys to and from school fostered Malcolm Wells' lifelong interest in Kingston-upon-Hull City Transport (KHCT). He worked for a time in the Works Section, aiding his researches into all aspects of KHCT's operations, while his extensive photographic archive features not only the vehicles but also many bygone glimpses of Hull streets.   New members always welcome !   Join at any meeting - £15 a year. NEW VENUE : Council Chamber, Hedon Town Hall , 36 St Augustine's Gate, Hedon HU12 8EX, 7.30pm . Access : the Council Chamber is situated on the first floor of Hedon Town Hal
