| Location / Directions |
It is located by the village of Sandtoft, near Belton on the Isle of Axholme in the English county of Lincolnshire. By Public TransportIf traveling by train or bus alight at Doncaster. However, unfortunately, there is no regular bus service from Doncaster to Sandtoft (there is one run per week!) so the only way to the museum is to use the bus service provided by the museum on certain Opendays.By carNo matter which direction your travelling from, the easiest way to find The Trolleybus Museum is to head for the M180 and leave at junction 2 for Gainsborough. The M180 motorway links with the M18 which in turn connects the M1, A1(M) and M62.From the M180 J2 follow signs for A161 towards Gainsborough. As you enter the village of Belton, the first village along the road, you will reach a mini roundabout. Turn right at the mini roundabout. The Museum is signposted at this junction. Follow the road down through Belton village. The Museum is on the right after 3 miles. |
| Description | Home to the World's Largest Collection of Preserved Trolleybuses. The Museum is also home to a selection of other vehicles with trolleybus era or local area connections.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: The museum occupies part of the former RAF Sandtoft, an operational bomber airfield during the Second World War. RAF Sandtoft was disposed of by the RAF in 1958 and the site was acquired for the museum in November 1969. Since that time, volunteers have transformed a barren site into a museum with the addition of workshop, vehicle depot and exhibition building. The museum is recognised as having the largest collection of preserved trolleybuses in Europe, if not the world, with over 60 examples. Whilst the exhibits are predominantly from the UK, a collection of international examples is growing at the museum. Apart from trolleybuses and transport, the museum also features a collection of 1950s/60s memorabilia. Over the years, many items related to the trolleybus era have been donated. A 1950s/1960s street scene features shop windows, complete with displays, whilst the prefab utility bungalow, previously used as the Museum's souvenir shop, has now been fitted out as a home to show even more of these period artefacts. |
