A1 (Diddler) was built in 1931 and was London's first trolleybus, entering service from Fulwell in May 1931. It is now part of the London Transport Museum Collection at Acton.
Q1 1768 was built in 1948 and operated from Fulwell and Isleworth Depots until 1960 when it was sold to Santander in Spain. It was then purchased by the London Transport Museum and restored back to its original London Transport livery. It is now housed in the Museum's collection at Acton.

It was chosen to be London's last trolleybus and made the last run departing Wimbledon Town Hall at 11.46pm on Tuesday 6th May 1962 for Fulwell via New Malden, Kingston, Hampton and Hampton Hill. It arrived at Fulwell just after 1am on Wednesday 9th May and ended 31 years of Trolleybus operation across the capital. 1521 is now owned by the LTPS and is based at East Anglia Transport Museum at Carlton Colville.
AEC Mercury Tower Wagon 89Q was built in 1936 and withdrawn in 1962 having spent much of its operational life at Fulwell. It was subsequently restored and is now part of the London Transport Museum Collection at Acton.
