The Leeds trolleybus system served the West Riding of Yorkshire city of Leeds in England between 1911 and 1928. In July 2012, plans to construct a new system, the New Generation Transport (NGT) project have been given the go ahead hopefully this form of what was once termed "Railess" transport will be in service by 2018  The government announced £173.5m funding to enable the Leeds New Generation Transport (NGT) trolleybus network, the first modern trolleybus network in the UK, to go ahead. London and many other transport operators including London are looking into the possibility of introducing trolleybuses.
