A prestigious event on the North Weald & District Miniature Railway. The atmosphere was great and visitors were very popular. It was only in the afternoon that the weather turned bad.
Ipswich Trolleybus 105 "under the wires" July 2023
The Ipswich Transport Museum's Karrier 105 trolleybus has been loaned to the East Anglian Transport Museum in Lowestoft and this season you can see and ride it.
We'll see 105 at various points on the EATM trolleybus 'loop', as well as a cab ride, and an upper deck ride showing the excellent refurbishment carried out by the ITM team and the EATM's electrical work.
This was the Big Bus Bash event on 9 July and shows a combination of dry and wet driving.
