This photo shows 1521 (FXH 521) a London Transport AEC trolleybus Chassisless with Metro-Cammell 70-seater bodywork dating from 1940 and being of Class L3. Initially, it worked on routes in East London, but in late 1961, it moved to Fulwell and became London's last trolleybus when its trolleybus system closed on the 8th May 1962. This vehicle was on display at Fulwell Bus Depot at an open day in May 2012 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the London trolleybus closure.
