Jolly Trolley...

A pensioner has paid homage to the humble trolleybus by converting a mobility scooter into one of the vintage vehicles.

Keith Burbidge, a 77-year-old retired bus driver, decided to mark the 50th anniversary of the last electric bus to travel in his hometown by creating a miniature version of one.

Keith used an electric buggy as the base for his wacky invention and created the superstructure from discarded aluminium.

He also installed two seats, one behind the other, and 30 perspex windows. He and wife Carol now drive the 5mph bus around Bournemouth, Dorset.
