4. PV4790
Colchester's only trolleybus was only used by ladies: as a mobile toilet it was towed to serve major outdoor events in the borough. The green and white livery more or less perpetuated that of its previous owner Ipswich Corporation, number 82, PV4790, a locally built Ransomes with Massey body seating 48. Capacity in its latter role would have been significantly less!
