[3] The trolleybuses operated by Derby Corporation led to the last Derby tram being eventually withdrawn from regular routes at the end of June with a special last journey on 2 July 1934.

[1] The system was much cheaper to run than motorbuses but the end was signalled when proposed extensions to the network were blocked by protest to the additional poles and cabling that would be required.

[1][2] There were over the years 165 Derby trolleybuses although this figure includes six that were second-hand.

A Derby Corporation Roe trolleybus was die cast in 1:76 scale by the Corgi Toy company.

[7] As the model bus had Roe coachwork then it would have been a trolleybus made after 1960.
