Where I was born there were three routes served by trolleybuses, the excuse for getting rid of them was that they were not versatile enough because they could not be used on other routes. Then they began to paint the routes on the side of diesel buses: from x to y every 10 minutes and route numbers etc. It was said that it cost 1 old penny to run a trolleybus for 3 miles. My father would say that Wolverhampton got rid of their trolleybuses because Guy Motors of Wolverhampton made diesel buses.
