Of particular note are the one-off event planned for the May Day Bank Holiday weekend which has been organised mainly to commemorate 50 years since the closure of London\u2019s extensive trolleybus network, but also the 60th anniversary of London\u2019s last tram. It is expected that several visiting trolleybuses will join the Museum\u2019s own large collection of vehicles from the capital city, which of course include tramcar London Transport 1858<\/strong>.

\nAnother potentially exciting one-off event is being held later the same month, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Museum itself. Not much information is available yet regarding what this will involve, but the various trams on site are sure to play an important part in this special occasion. Another highlight will be the annual trolleybus weekend in September, which includes the one and only chance to experience the Museum after dark on Saturday 8th September.<\/p>\n
