11 august 1999 - Liege Transport Museum, Belgium/Belgie. The RELSE operated an interurban tram route from Liege to Seraing until 1968. In Seraing, a trolleybus line was introduced in 1936, but there was no room at the terminus for a normal turning circle of overhead wires. The solution? A double-ended trolleybus! Believe it if you will – THREE axles, TWO sets of driver controls (including TWO steering wheels) and FOUR trolley poles! This last survivor of these four amazing buses ran until 1963. This picture shows the front – or maybe the back – who knows?

11 august 1999 - Liege Transport Museum, Belgium/Belgie. The other end of the RELSE trolleybus is identical, as shown here. This might be the back – or perhaps it’s the front? Luckily, there was only one driver ;-)

5 june 2009 - Liege (BE) – museum Natalis. For those who missed it when I showed it before – the craziest trolleybus in the world! This amazing DOUBLE-ENDED, three-axle bus from the suburban RELSE company has to be seen to be believed. Several of these buses were operated along a line where there was no room to build a turning place, so they went backwards and forwards like a tram. They carried FOUR trolleypoles, of course!

5 june 2009 - Liege (BE) – museum Natalis. Two pictures inside the double-ended trolleybus, showing the steering wheels and controls at BOTH ends! This must have been very interesting to drive………
