Derby might even now have trolley buses. However when the inner ring road was constructed it was felt too expensive to reinstate all the wiring. Also a stretch in Kedleston Road, and probably elsewhere, needed new poles (It was said they'd rotted with the dogs peeing against them). The benefits over the oilers were not then so obvious.
