Poplar trolleybus depot (code PR) was operational electrically from June
1940 to November 1959 and sent out vehicles on routes:
567 Barking Broadway - Commercial Road - Smithfield (jointly
operated with WH West Ham depot)
569 North Woolwich - Commercial Road - Aldgate (peak hours only)
665 Barking Broadway - Commercial Road - Bloomsbury (jointly operated
with WH West Ham depot)
Don't know how many people worked there, but in terms of vehicle capacity
(149 trolleybuses) it was the third largest trolleybus depot in London.
Daily run-out needed 86 trolleys, so I guess that called for at least some
400 drivers and conductors ........... and a clippie was a conductress
rather than a conductor!
