The Ramsbottom trolleybus system once served the town of Ramsbottom, then in Lancashire, but now in Greater Manchester, England.
Opened on 14 August 1913 (1913-08-14),[1] the Ramsbottom system was unusual in being a completely new one that was not replacing any previously operating tramway network. It was closed relatively early, on 31 March 1931 (1931-03-31),[1] though it was largely replaced by motor buses on a faster timetable from 14 January 1929.[2]
By the standards of the various now defunct trolleybus systems in the United Kingdom, the Ramsbottom system was very small, with only one route,[1] from Holcombe Brook railway station to Edenfield, with a short branch from Market Place in Ramsbottom to Ramsbottom railway station, which closed on 5 October 1914.[2] Buses ran half-hourly.[3]
The system had a maximum fleet of only seven trolleybuses.[1]
None of the former Ramsbottom trolleybuses is recorded as having survived.[4]
