Preservation
	Restoration work has now started on Belfast 168, a Guy BTX of 1949 with a Harkness body, seen in service on 11th May 1968 Ed Humphreys
	Hastings 45, a 1929 Guy single decker with a Ransomes body, is about to have work done to her, following earlier work to rebuild the body by the Hastings Trolleybus Restoration Group. Ashley Bruce
	After residing in Hastings for many years Hastings 45 has now been moved to a more accessible site so work can proceed. Although the body is in excellent shape, much has to be done to reinstate the electrical mechanicals, including removing previous attempts to make her diesel powered. Ashley Bruce

Our vehicles
		Bournemouth 202 - the flagship vehicle of the Association, now at Carlton Colville Museum, was at the trolleybus rally at the Black Country Museum in June 2000 and the Sandtoft Gathering the following month (see pictures). 202 then travelled to the annual trolleybus event at the East Anglia Transport Museum in September and is now resident at the EATM under a 5-year loan agreement, undergoing further restoration work. 202 was built in 1935 and converted to open-top configuration in 1958. It was purchased by the NTA in 1965 and took part in the final trolleybus procession at the closure of the Bournemouth system in 1969.
		Huddersfield 541 - the first privately preserved trolleybus in the UK to operate on another trolleybus system when in 1966 it toured the Wolverhampton system. It operated the only tour by a preserved trolleybus in Huddersfield, on the last day of the system in 1968. It is currently undergoing restoration at Sandtoft.
		Belfast 168 - the last trolleybus to operate in Ireland and acquired by the NTA on the closure of the system in 1968, has started to undergo restoration.
		Hastings 45 - dating from 1929, this vehicle was used as a waiting room at Hastings bus station following closure of the town system and is currently, though slowly, being restored.
		Wolverhampton 654 - this vehicle, the last trolleybus to be built by Guy Motors of Wolverhampton, is currently stored and awaiting restoration. picture - Graham Sidwell
