Windback Wednesday - Electric Trolleybuses

Have you ever ridden an electric trolleybus?

The photograph below, taken in 1940, shows a double-decker trolleybus at the intersection of Greenhill Road and Linden Avenue facing south. Adelaide's trolleybus network was used from 1932 until 1963, with the Municipal Tramways Trust replacing trolleybuses with diesel buses which were not restricted by wires and therefore cheaper to provide.
