The company behind the trolleybus scheme have organised a drop-in session for people wanting to know more about the new mode of transport coming to Leeds.

The New Generation Transport team organised the session so people will be able to see detailed route maps and ask questions about the trolleybus.

However, a campaign group called the A660 Joint Council are campaigning against the trolleybus coming to Leeds. They say the scheme is not worth the environmental damage it will cause.

Trolleybuses will be double-articulated - three segments of 23 to 24m, which is longer than the currently permitted maximum length for buses in the UK of 18.3m.
