Special events at Sandtoft Trolley Bus Museum this summer

Visitors are now greeted by 21st Century technology - touch screen tills, making access to the site quicker and easier as it incorporates the Gift Aid scheme. This is also happening at both the cafe and shop.

Beneath the overhead network that supplies the power are an array of trolleybuses, all operated by volunteers, some owned privately, others belonging to the Sandtoft Trust etc.

Trolleybuses run quietly so we aks that you take extra care, and ask for assistance when boarding. There is limited access inside the depot containing the Museum’s collection of vehicles, and access to cabs on static display always needs consent, but access to unchained buses is allowed.

In the future the Museum hopes to add to its attractions the 7.25 inch Ise Valley Railway, complete with running stock, kindly donated by its owner Francis Terry from Kettering.
