Summary

| Description |
English: British Trolleybuses - Teesside 31 March 1968 saw the opening of the very last trolleybus route to be built in Britain. It involved what was then the smallest system in the country, the Teesside Railless Traction Board, to the east of Middlesbrough. The new route linked the existing termini at Grangetown (Fabian Road) and Normanby via what had been the rural village of Eston, now swallowed up by the extension of housing development which was the reason for the route extension. In the distance can be seen chimneys of the Dorman Long steelworks, which was the original raison d'etre for a trolleybus system.
Here we see the very first official run over the system, breaking the tape at Fabian Road. It's attracted a small crowd of local residents - with a style of dress very redolent of the era.
