Trolleybus Lines and Infrastructure

Capolinea Tavernelle

It's the usual view: Trolleybus operation in Ancona is suspended until further notice since an unknown time, at least since summer 2025. Even in times of a fuel crisis, the only trolleybus line 1/4 is operated exclusively with diesel buses.

Piazza Cavour

The only reason why the trolleybuses in Ancona have not been running for several months is this broken trolleybus. It is a section of about 50 m between two switches, which can be easily repaired in a few hours. This picture shows the utter desperation of the city administration and the transport company.

Via Antonio Gianelli

Quite a nice switch on the handling line from the "Risorgimento" tunnel towards the city. Unfortunately it is unused and the trolley to the branch is for some reason connected outside the switch.

Galleria del Risorgimento

Tunnel entrance. Trolleybus wires are cut in front and behind the tunnel. Although it is necessary to drive through the tunnel on alternative power, there are no overhead canopies anywhere.
