Opened on {{Start date|1931|07|22|df=y}},[1] it gradually replaced the Walsall Corporation Tramways network. By the standards of the various now defunct trolleybus systems in the United Kingdom, the Walsall system was a medium-sized one, with a total of 6 routes, and a maximum fleet of 60 trolleybuses. It was also one of the last to be closed, on {{End date|1970|10|03|df=y}}.[1] In its final years, the Walsall system had a very diverse fleet of trolleybuses, many of which had been acquired secondhand from already closed trolleybus systems elsewhere in England.[5] Four of the former Walsall system trolleybuses are now preserved in their pale blue Walsall livery. Two of them are at the Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft, Lincolnshire, one is at the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley, West Midlands, and the other one is in the collection of Aston Manor Road Transport Museum, Birmingham.[6] See also{{portal|Transport|England}}
