Visiting Foxton Trolleybus Museum?

Post by Rick R »

Hi All,

I'm hopping over the ditch for holidays soon and would like to have a look at the Foxton Trolleybus Museum. Can anyone let me know what the deal is, the last I heard it was closed to the public.

Thanks in advance.
Enjoy.

The Foxton Bus Museum is no longer open to the public after the death of its owner Ian Little some years ago and then his wife Chrissie Little in 2013, and their Son Wayne in 2012.

The trolleybus overhead wires are still in place around Foxton but their future is in doubt as there are local Council plans for a new Development around the Windmill.
