The Doncaster trolleybus system once served the town of Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England. Opened on 22 August 1928 ,[1][2] it gradually replaced the Doncaster Corporation Tramways. By the standards of the various now-defunct trolleybus systems in the United Kingdom, the Doncaster system was a moderately sized one, with a total of 6 routes, all radiating out from the town centre, and a maximum fleet of 47 trolleybuses.[2] The Bentley route was the first to close, on 12 February 1956 , and the Beckett Road route was the last to go, on 14 December 1963 .[3]
