  3. A film from around 1952-1954 of #traffic in the town centre of #Ipswich #Suffolk - shot by a #police detective from the CID -unsurprisingly he is behaving very much like a human #CCTV camera, and appears to be concentrating on the busy roads and his fellow officers carrying out traffic duty (there weren't many electric traffic lights in those days!) - maybe this was originally used for training purposes?

    Even though there are way fewer #cars , a lot more #cyclists and #trolleybuses were still in use then, the town centre is still quite busy!

    Many of those streets are pedestrianised today.

  18. On 5 April 2025, in #France, the Communauté Urbaine du Grand #Nancy and #Keolis Grand Nancy launched the upgraded all-electric ‘Tempo 1’ trolleybus line, featuring 15 lighTram® 25 DC vehicles from Swiss manufacturer HESS. The 9.78 km route between Vandœuvre-Brabois and Essey-Mouzimpré operates approximately 62% on overhead lines, with the remaining sections powered by batteries through a dynamic charging system. Charging at the depot is carried out via plug-in. The introduction of these battery #trolleybuses was well received by passengers, local authorities, and the media, representing a significant advancement in reducing emissions and enhancing urban mobility in France.

  21. Škoda Group will deliver 46 trolleybuses to #Esslingen, #Germany, as part of a €41.4 million contract to support the city's transition to emission-free public transport. The vehicles, which will be delivered by 2026, include 12-metre and 18-metre models, with an option for 15 more. Equipped with batteries for up to 25 km of #autonomous operation and regenerative braking, the #trolleybuses will feature enhanced passenger comfort, including comfortable seating, electric ramps, and onboard Wi-Fi. The new fleet will help Esslingen achieve its goal of climate neutrality by 2040, making it one of the first #German cities with fully emission-free local #transport. Škoda’s role in Germany’s emission-free #mobility market continues to grow, with projects like the world’s longest tram for Rhein-Neckar-Verkehr GmbH.

  25. When going over ${city I grew up in}'s zero emissions transit plan for 2045 I noticed that they want to have a fleet entirely of BEBs (battery-electric-buses) and hydrogen buses. No mention of trolley buses which I found weird because they're really good zero emissions transit (even better than BEBs in most cases imo).

    After doing some digging I found the 2015 report that theyre basing their 2045 plan off of, and trolleys weren't even considered. The only electric bus they considered were BEBs.

    And now Im seriously debating reaching out to the fleet transition manager to ask/comment about it <w<

  29. Oh when I was staying in Milano, one of the coolest things was that I could hear the 90/91 Circolare trolleybuses and the 93 trolleybus from the hotel. It was so cool. I love #trolleybuses so much.

  30. Suppose I wanted to only ride #PublicTransit that runs on #electricity, *not* fossil fuels. (Silly, I know.)

    Is there a #map of what lines / transit systems are electrified? If not, what would be the best way to create such a map? (I mostly care about the USA, but examples from other places would also be welcome.) Is there a way to prioritize electric routes when routing with OpenStreetMap data?

    This shouldn't be limited to #trains, #trolleybuses are cool too.
