Transport: Trolleybuses
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Earl Attlee on 31 October (WA 220), whether they will encourage the re-introduction of trolleybuses as an alternative to trams.
- Answer
-
The Government believe that local authorities are best placed to determine local transport needs, which may include considering whether introducing a trolleybus is preferable to other local transport interventions. This Government are currently reviewing the pipeline of major local authority transport projects requesting central government funds with the aim of making decisions this December. This will include a decision on the proposed Leeds trolleybus scheme.
