Description

The film begins with shots of the recovery of a tram (from a garden at Nuthall) and a Trent double decker bus (from a garden at Dalbury Lees in Derbyshire). The bus is owed to the workshop at Plumtree by a Derby Corporation tower wagon. We then see a visit to Plumtree by members of the Lincolnshire Vintage Vehicle Society in an old Lincolnshire Corporation Ruston powered bus. The next section shows the erection of trolley wires at Plumtree, another bus arriving from Grimsby and vehicles being restored. There are shots of vehicles at an open day at Plumtree followed by shots of fair transport at the Goose Fair in Nottingham. There are shot of another bus in Plumtree and finally shots (very dark) of trolleybuses in Bradford before the closure in 1972.
