Leeds Trolleybus (or Leeds Tbus) in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England will, if plans go ahead, be the first trolleybus system to be reinstated in the United Kingdom after almost thirty years since the last trolleybus operated in Bradford. The predicted ridership of the Tbus is 16 million passengers per year. The Tbus is a solution to Leeds' huge congestion problem, with each Tbus able to carry two hundred people. The projected ridership is 16 million passengers per year.

Proposed routes

The three lines that will operate in the city are more or less along the same lines as the Leeds Supertram would have followed, with one line going to the north to end at Bodington, another to go to the south to Stourton, another to go to Seacroft in the east and a loop around much of the retail district of the city centre.
