In the second and final part of his fond farewell to London's trolleybuses, Nick Lera completes his documentation of the last two years of operation. Interesting cameos include the frequent 'trolley-jams' in Acton Market Place and the secret Clapham Junction terminus in now long-disappeared old Battersea, a full 3d fare stage beyond Clapham Junction proper. As before, a few railway rarities will crop up along the way in this overhead wire odyssey, and a full colour segment will take us on the final leg through South West London to the closing celebrations with the 'Diddler' at Fulwell, 8 May 1962, 55 years to the day before the date of this talk.
Cubic Theatre. London Transport Museum, Covent Garden.
