ETS had a fleet of 100 trolleys like 189 and 195 seen here enjoying their summer holiday resting in the depot during August 2007: reduced peak demand meant the trolley system coud be effectively switched off to save money. The trolleys date from 1981/82 and the running gear at least was from Asea Brown Boveri in Switzerland, their model HR150G. The bodywork was by General Motors.

A long line of resting trolleys stretches behind 189.

It looks like the downtime is used to give the trolleys the once over with 181 held aloft on hoists.

From left to right 124, 177 and 172 appeared to be receiving some summer care package too.

This view from New Flyer D40LF 4232 shows a section of road with two sets of trolley wires in both directions. This unusual trolley system feature enabled trolleybuses to perform the hitherto impossible feat of overtaking one another!
