Opened on {{Start date|1933|05|13|df=y}},[2] it gradually replaced the Bournemouth tramway network. By the standards of the various now-defunct trolleybus systems in the United Kingdom, the Bournemouth system was a medium-sized one, with a total of 22 routes, and a maximum fleet of 104 trolleybuses. It was also the second largest trolleybus system in southern England, after the London system.[2] It was closed on {{End date|1969|04|20|df=y}}.[2] Notable featuresThe most notable feature of the Bournemouth system was probably the Christchurch trolleybus turntable, which is said to be one of only five such turntables ever to have been constructed worldwide. It is now a Grade II listed building.[6] The turntable was manually operated and was in use from 19 June 1936 until the closure of the system. Also notable was the style of bodywork employed on most of the Bournemouth's trolleybuses. Many featured two staircases and the traditional open rear platform was supplemented with a front passenger exit fitted with folding doors. PreservationSeveral of the former Bournemouth system trolleybuses are now preserved, in their distinctive yellow and maroon livery. Two are at the East Anglia Transport Museum (fleet numbers 282 and 286), and two Sunbeam MF2B trolleybuses plus one other (fleet numbers 99, 297 and 301) are at The Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft.[1] One is in private ownership in England. One is in the National Transport Museum of Ireland.[9] See also{{portal|Transport|Dorset}}
