Benefits of Membership
For your monthly membership you receive a monthly magazine called, unsurprisingly, "Trolleybus". You will find articles on systems that used to operate in the U.K. or on modern trolleybuses operating around the world, international news updates and all the gossip in the museum and preservation world, not to mention interesting photographs.
Monthly meetings are held in Reading, London and Bradford where film shows or histories on past and present day systems are usually enjoyed. We have 11 trolleybuses in our preserved fleet and you can read all about these on our BTS Fleet page.
