Summary

Description

Catching the miracle: Prototype low-floor trolley 301 has been out of service for over two years. So the surprise of early 2017 was its return to service when closure of the system is imminent. 301 returned to traffic a month ago, but it doesn't appear to have been used much. I saw it a few weeks ago but don't have my camera or phone on me. Luckily today I had my phone and grabbed a shot. Even better is unlike my last encounter 301 didn't scuttle off to the depot. So I managed a sequence of shots on my camera latter in the day.

No. 301 was southbound in Willis Street at Bond Street when captured in this photograph. It was built by DesignLine in 2003, as the first prototype for a planned order of new trolleybuses. Two more prototypes, Nos. 302 and 303, were built in 2004–05 (and delivered in May 2005) were again two-axle vehicles. The remaining 57 vehicles in the overall 60-vehicle order were three-axle trolleybuses (numbered 331–387), built in 2007–2009.
