Beneath the Wires of London: Driving and Conducting London Trolleybuses

Charlie Wyatt began as a conductor on London’s trolleybuses in 1951 and became a driver in 1955. He worked throughout his career at Finchley depot, where he was on trolleybuses until their last day there. With an exceptional memory, backed up by official documents of the time, 15 years ago Charlie recounted to Hugh Taylor what it was like to work beneath the wires of the largest trolleybus system in the world.
