That is a very valuable photo, Graeme - thank you. It is assumed in the fan community here that there are very few photos of the Aotea Quay trolleybus route, and certainly I have never seen any like that.

For those not familiar with Wellington - the tracks in the foreground are not tram tracks but railway sidings leading to the port area behind the camera. The round stadium in the background of my overhead shot of a few days ago now occupies the site of the Social Security office in Graeme's photo. I understand the trolleybus line was put in largely to service that office.

Cheers,

Brent Efford

Lucky shot this one on a cold winter's morning at Aotea Quay.

There would be only 3 or 4 TB's buses going there in the morning.

Imagine being confronted with a reversing bus as you came round the corner !!!!
