The Trolleybus Museum
read moreAlthough the Museum had to remain closed in 2020 we are hoping to re-open at Easter 2021. Located between Doncaster and Scunthorpe, the Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft has over 60 historic trolleybuses in its collection. Many are in working order and on open days visitors can ride on them. Most of our trolleybuses come from towns and cities around Britain, and we show some of the social history of their heyday - the 1940's through to 1960's. We also have a few important examples from around Europe, Canada and New Zealand.
The Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft
read moreThe Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft houses the world's largest collection of historic trolleybuses and occupies almost 8 acres of what used to be RAF Sandtoft. Some of the former taxiway leading to the old airfield's three runways forms part of the quarter-mile trolleybus circuit, around which you can experience, on open days, a trip on some of our historic trolleybuses. The large concreted area between the main trolleybus depot and the caf/ shop building used to be the floor of a massive aircraft hanger.
