Corgi 1/76 Trolleybus Wolverhampton No.8 Fighting Cocks (OM40102A)
The Wolverhampton Corporation Transport Department purchased parts of two tramway companies
in 1923, eventually electrifying them. Trolleybus operation commenced in 1923, using
"trackless" style vehicles as tram replacements. Trolleybuses of a more modern outline,
reputedly the first in Britain, arrived in 1926. From 1931 there was a joint service with
Walsall's trolleybuses. The Guy Motors factory was situated in the town, so Guy buses and
Sunbeam trolleybuses were favoured in the town's purchases until 1969 when production
ceased. The decision to abandon the trolleybus fleet was made in 1961 and the last one ran
in 1967. The Wolverhampton Corporation Transport Department was absorbed by the new West
Midlands Passenger Transport Executive in 1969.
