Hi, Mal, and all!
Attached is a wonderful pic dated 8/1/1955 from the late Noel Reed of 651 at East Coburg, also with MV trolley bases. A VW “beetle”, a clock-face traffic light and a game of cricket on the reserve on the north side of Bell Street!
Cheers!
Len

It’s a bit hard to tell from the enlarged photo of 453, but I reckon 453 (along with 450, 451 and 452) still had the single spring Metro Vickers trolley bases that I remember seeing around that time.

I think you are right Len.

A Ray Pearson pic shows a MetroVic base on 453 in Swanston St.

Mal Rowe - glad of observant list members
