With no other form of power except cheap hydro-electricity Switzerland could have been expected to continue to be a haven for the trolleybus but even here systems seem to be disappearing quite rapidly. I don't know when it will finally go but the small Schaffhausen system dating from as recently as 1966 only had eight Hess bodied Naw vehicles which in 1991 replaced trolleybuses like Saurer No.104. Taken on a cold grey winter's day it's amazing how effective the yellow and black livery cut through the gloom.
