The Cardiff and South Wales Trolleybus Project was formed in 1992 with the long term aim of reintroducing trolleybuses into the Cardiff area, primarily as a Tourist Attraction but also as an additional Leisure facility for the residents of South Wales. Meetings were initially held at the premises of the Butetown Historical Railway Society at Butetown Station in Cardiff Bay. However when that project relocated to Barry meetings were transferred to another site. The project currently owns Cardiff 243 & 262 as well as Bradford 704. The Bradford bus was the first to be acquired as at the time (1995)there were no Cardiff Trolleybuses available and Bradford had a connection with South Wales, having purchased some Second Hand Trolleybuses from Llanelli. For a more detailed history of each vehicle visit the Restoration page. Our buses were initially stored at the former Western Welsh bus depot in Barry but when it became difficult to work on them there they were moved to a site on the east side of Cardiff. With a membership based mainly in South Wales but spread as far afield as Sheffield, Liverpool, London and Southampton we are now making steady progress on the task of bringing our buses back to their former glory. Come back to our site regularly for news on our progress.
