The Wolverhampton trolleybus system served the city of Wolverhampton, then in Staffordshire, England (and now in West Midlands, England), for much of the twentieth century.
Opened on 29 October 1923,[1] the system was one of the most extensive trolleybus systems in the United Kingdom, with a total of 14 routes, a maximum fleet of 173 trolleybuses.[2] For a brief period in the 1930s, it even had the distinction of being the world's largest trolleybus system.[3] It was closed on 5 March 1967.[1][2]
