Belfast Corporation diesel buses Belfast Corporation trolleybuses

As mentioned on our other Belfast page, trolleybuses were introduced to the city in 1938, when a pair of each of the seven models of trolleybus then available were purchased for tram replacement trials. These started another numbering series from 1 upwards. 88 AEC 664Ts and fourteen Sunbeam Ws were subsequently placed in service from 1941 to 1943, all bodied locally by Harkness Coachworks. A further 26 Guy vehicles were ordered, but not delivered because of wartime restrictions, their intended fleet numbers and registrations being issued instead in 1948.

After the end of world war 2, the first new trolleybuses to arrive were replacements for the 26 Guy trolleybuses deferred since 1943, followed by a further 48 BUT trolleybuses which commenced delivery in 1950, the order not being completed until 1954. Alongside this batch, eleven second-hand trolleybues were acquired from Wolverhampton in 1952. Being shorter two axle vehicles, they were never as popular as the longer native vehicles so their lives were short, the last being withdrawn in 1958.

Just one more trolleybus was bought, Sunbeam 246 in 1958, alongside a mixed bag of five diesels from five different makers, the object of these purchases being to determine future fleet replacement. With the ending of London Transport trolleybus services in May 1962, other operators were to follow suit and decide to replace them with new diesel engined vehicles. Belfast was no exception and their choice was the Daimler Fleetline. From then until 1969 fleet replacement concentrated on Fleetlines, with small batches of other types and makes from time to time.

The last trolleybus ran in service on 12th May 1968, marking the end of 30 years of electric powered double deck buses in Ireland from a fleet second in size only to London Transport. A small number was lucky enough to be sold off for preservation; the rest following the fate of most trolleybuses elsewhere in the UK in making a final journey under tow to a breakers yard.

Almost five years later, in April 1973, the newly formed Citybus Services took over an operational fleet of 350 diesel buses from the Corporation, along with a further fourteen withdrawn half cabs (which were quickly stripped for spares and then sold for scrap), and twelve Fleetline chassis of which the bodywork had been destroyed in riots, and these were rebodied and returned to service, joining several examples which had also been similarly treated for BCT before the takeover. Over time Citybus gradually whittled away the former Corporation fleet, with the last Fleetlines being withdrawn in 1989, some 21 years after the last trolleybus had run.
