Re: And now for something completely different

When you say "replacing the tram service at these times" could you give
some detail as how this was done? Was an extra overhead wire installed
for the return, or did the bus tow a shoe on one of the rails?

Whilst on my visit to the St Kilda Tramway Museum, I had the pleasure
of looking at their nicely presented display of Adelaide Trolleybuses.

The attached subject is Australia's first trolleybus, converted in
1932 from a Garford Petrol double decker bus by removal of the top
deck and replacement of the engine with an under bonnet electric
motor. Known as the 'Green Goddess', she ran until about 1935 from
Payneham to Paradise during non-peak times, replacing the tram service
at these times. Although the first example of a trolleybus system, it
was a trail only, the meadal for the first permanant trolley bus
system goes to Perth in 1933. You will notice, she is another example
of a trolleybus with a radiator grill...
