6 august 2012 - Manchester (UK) – Museum of Transport. Ashton Corporation was one of seven trolleybus operators which used the wires in and around the city, as trams had done before them. This part-restored bus is a Crossley Empire, a rare survivor. The museum also has a three-axle Crossley Dominion, in a rather better state of preservation. Ashton was one of the last Manchester trolleybus operators, not closing down until 1966.
