It closed on 17 July 1937, and the new Cleethorpes trolleybus system was inaugurated the next day,〔 operating jointly with the Grimsby system, on the Grimsby–Cleethorpes route, which was extended to Bathing Pool.〔 Operation of both trolleybus systems was transferred to the Grimsby Cleethorpes Transport Joint Committee in 1957, but they were both closed soon afterwards, on .〔 Some of their redundant trolleybuses then served on the Walsall system, until that system's closure in 1970.
