Join the BTS!

You can join the BTS on line or by downloading and completing an application form.

To join on line, you will first need to register your details on the web site. Register now and receive a free on-line copy of our monthly journal "Trolleybus"!

After you have registered you will be able to log in and download your free magazine. If you decide you would like to join, you will be able to log in and select your membership options. You can pay your subscription by PayPal, by making a direct bank transfer, or by sending a cheque to the membership secretary, whose address will be sent to you with your acknowledgement.

Benefits of Membership

For your monthly membership you receive a monthly magazine called, unsurprisingly, "Trolleybus". You will find articles on systems that used to operate in the U.K. or on modern trolleybuses operating around the world, international news updates and all the gossip in the museum and preservation world, not to mention interesting photographs. You will also be able to see the magazine via the Members' Area of the website as soon as it is published.

You can join as an On Line Member at a reduced rate, which gives you access to the magazine from your member pages. With on line membership you will not receive the magazine through the post.

Monthly meetings are held in Reading, London and Bradford where film shows or histories on past and present day systems are enjoyed. We have 13 trolleybuses in our preserved fleet and you can read all about these on our BTS Fleet Page.
