I used to do the opposite: when I was travelling across Nottingham
from junior school to home (I'd stayed at the school as I'd only got a
year left when we moved out of the catchment area). I used to "drop
off" the rear platform of the trolleybus as it slowed down to
negotiate the overhead junction at the end of Broad Marsh.<snip>
Sounds just as exciting, Brian. For some reason though, I can't picture trolley
buses with an open-door arrangement as on the diesel ones. Mind you this is
from someone who, at the age of 6 or 7 was absolutely gobsmacked to see one day
that trolley buses had a driver! With child-like logic I reasoned that, if the
wires went round the corner, then the bus must *surely* follow! :-))
