| | Trolleybuses first came to London in a small way, being introduced in south west London in 1931 by London United Tramways. Following on from this, in Five years between 1935 and 1940 London Transport built up a massive and complex trolleybus network in its replacement of trams. When the second World War brought development to a halt, London Transport had an operational fleet of 1,671 trolleybuses by far the largest fleet in the world. Contents:
