London Meetings
Regular meetings are held in London on trolleybus operation and history. Non-members are sure of a friendly welcome. Light refreshments are available. There is a small charge to defray costs.
Meetings are held at the premises of The Model Railway Club, 4 Calshot Street, London N1 (off Pentonville Road - nearest Underground station King’s Cross), normally on the third Wednesday of each month.
We are experimenting with afternoon meetings during the autumn and winter months, so please check the time for the individual meeting. Evening meetings start at 1900 and afternoon meetings at 1430. Refreshments are normally available. Admission is £2.50. There is generally no meeting in August and neither will there be one in September 2024. The future programme is set out below and also appears in each issue of Trolleybus Magazine.
