Derby Corporation Transport 1899-1986

Horse omnibuses had made an appearance in Derby by the early 1840’s and by the 1850’s omnibuses were operating a number of local services. 

The Derby Corporation Act of 1899 empowered the Corporation to purchase the existing horse tramway. On the 1st November 1899, Derby Corporation took control of the Company and rolling stock.

On the 21st August 1929, the Town Council decided to abandon their tramway system, surprisingly, in favour of trolleybuses. The Derby Corporation Act of 1930 granted the necessary powers, although it would be 1932 before the first services were inaugurated.

The 9th September 1967, the final day of trolleybus operations in Derby and on the 26th October 1986, Derby City Transport became an ‘arm’s-length’ limited company, Derby City Transport Limited, under the terms of the new Transport Act.
