Also the concrete road surface which extended over much of the trolley bus routes.

The same view today. Even the cut-back corner is still there, rather like Sydney's still-extant tramway corners.

Thank you Roger, that's made my day.

It must have been nice going home during the day for whatever reason!

Tony P lamented that Ian Saxon's photograph wasn't in colour.
Attached is a scene at the same location with two trolley buses, both
vehicles having had their green roof changed to the later 'cream roof'
livery. The following one is waiting for No 220 to depart the Dynnyrne
terminus. Likely the photograph was taken around the middle of the day and
No 220 was rostered on a 'lunchtime extra' service.
These were a feature dating from tramway days so that city workers could go
home for lunch. Or for whatever reason.
